Enabling preprovisioning
The device automatically creates interfaces when preprovisioning is enabled for a module. The display interface command does not display these interfaces until the module comes online.
After preprovisioning is enabled for a module, you can configure the module and its interfaces. To verify the preprovisioned settings, see "Displaying and maintaining preprovisioned settings." For the preprovisioned settings to survive a reboot, you must use the save command to save the settings to the next-startup configuration file.
When you disable preprovisioning on a slot, the device removes all preprovisioned commands from the slot.
