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
