Re: shutting down firewall

Good afternoon.  Cisco IOS does support the shutdown command, but at the 
interface level.  An example would be if you wanted to shut down an 
fast-ethernet port:  (config-if)#shutdown  

to bring the port back up, the command would be:

(config-if)#no shutdown

however, this command does not shutdown the platform, just the specific port.

cheers
