If you want to shutdown a port on a Cisco 2960 Catalyst Switch you will need to connect to the router (either SSH, TelNet or connect using the Console cable) and enter the interface you want to shutdown. You will then need to enter the shutdowncommand. An example is given below for Fast Ethernet 0/2

Router> enable

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# interface fa0/2

Router(config-if)# shutdown

When port security is enabled a switch port uses the default violation mode of until specifically configured to use a different violation mode?

Yes, By default port security is disabled on a Cisco switch. If it is enabled the default violation mode is shutdown with a maximum MAC address count of 1. Even if port-security is enabled it will not place a port into the shutdown state until either MAC address sticky or a static MAC address is configured on the port.


What is 'err-disabled' error. it is frequently blocking the port of your cisco switch?

This is caused by port security being enabled and having the violation setting set to shutdown. This is triggered when you have two many MAC addresses listed for the port of if a BPDU is sent to that port, depending on how port security is configured.


Where is the ip address on a cisco switch for telnet?

The Cisco switches I have seen don't have an IP address by default. You have to connect to the switch with a console cable - one that connects to the console port on the switch, and to the serial port on the computer - and do some initial configuration, including the IP address.The Cisco switches I have seen don't have an IP address by default.
