I completely agree with you, its like configuring port channels while up
up, it just dosent make sense, Id rather eliminate any other variables
that don't coincide with my tasks.......
That's just me, the less confusion the better.
Especially while debugging....

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
