Change a Physical Port State

You can bring a physical port administratively up or down.

In SLX-OS, you can use the show interface ethernet command to see the status of the Ethernet interfaces on your device.

Run the efa inventory device interface set-admin-state command.

# efa inventory device interface set-admin-state 
--ip 10.x.x.x --if-type eth --if-name 0/31,0/32 --state up
