CHAPTER 5
Operations Commands
Operations commands generally affect switch performance immediately, but do not alter permanent
switch configurations. For example, you can use Operations commands to immediately disable a
port (without the need to apply or save the change), with the understanding that when the switch is
reset, the port returns to its normally configured operation.
These commands enable you to alter switch operational characteristics without affecting switch
configuration.
