switchport

Use this command to set the mode of an interface to switched.

All interfaces are configured routed by default. To change the behavior of an interface from switched to routed, you must explicitly give the noswitchport command.

When you change the mode of an interface from switched to routed and vice-versa, all configurations for that interface are erased.

User should be prompted for confirmation, while executing switchport/no switchport command. To support this requirement, please refer the command enable/disable confirmation-dialog.

Use the no form of this command to set the mode to routed.
