I'm gonna offer a different view on this one guys. Using the interface
range command, shutting ports is not terribly time consuming. I personally
don't want any STP BPDUs or anything else for that matter flying around my
network. In fact, I start each and every practice lab with every single
switchport shut (except the ones that tie to routers) and then I enable them
as I configure. I can't possibly see this as a measurable impact on your
overall time management strategy, and it seems to me it potentially save you
from some confusion (which could impact your overall time management
strategy).
I'm surprised everyone's saying "no" on this one?

Why would you take the time to do this if it isn't a requirement? I
can't see any benefit in doing this since an unused port is just
that...unused, so it won't interfere with anything. In production maybe
you would do this (we do in my network) but I wouldn't do this in your
lab.

Hi group,
Is it good to shutdown unrelated switch ports in the lab?
Thanks,
FC
