CHAPTER 5
Operations Commands
Operations commands generally affect switch performance immediately, but do not alter per-
manent switch configurations. For example, you can use Operations commands to immediately
disable a port, with the understanding that when the switch is reset, the port returns to its nor-
mally configured operation.
These commands allow you to alter switch operational characteristics without affecting switch
configuration.
