Sorry Stuart... I know this works on router ethernet interfaces... guess
it doesn't work on switches. You could always make/use a hardware
loopback (pin 1 to 3 and pin 2 to 6).

Kenneth,

This isn't working as expected:

Stuart,

The physical port you can keep up by disabling keepalives ('no
keepalive').

I doubt this will work for a VLAN interface though.

Hi all,
 
How do I keep a vlan interface up if it has no active ports, or no ports
configured. Also, how can I keep a physical interface up if it has no
link
active?
 
Thanks
 
Stuart
