Removing Cisco Config Commands
Alright, let's tackle this step by step for the mac-address sticky
command on interface Gi1/0/7.
1. Understanding the Context: The sticky mac-address
command on an interface is typically used when you want a MAC address to remain associated with that port even if the device disconnects and reconnects. Let's verify its current setting first:
show running-config interface gigabitethernet 1/0/7
This will show us the exact configuration for this port, including any sticky MAC settings.
2. Removal Process:
Here are two approaches depending on how it was configured:
Option A - If it's a direct setting:
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/7
no mac-address sticky
end
Option B - If there's a specific MAC address defined:
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/7
no mac-address sticky 00-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
end
(Replace XX with the actual MAC address)
3. Verification Steps:
After removing it:
- Save the configuration (
copy running-config startup-config
) - Verify the interface status (
show interfaces gigabitethernet 1/0/7
) - Test connectivity to ensure nothing was impacted
Important Safety Notes:
- Always save a backup before making changes
- Document all modifications in your change log
- If there's uncertainty about the command, consider temporarily disabling it instead of removing it
