Default Interface Cisco Command

I can't even count the number of times I've tried to remove all the configs from an interface by doing a no interface command. The router or switch always replies with a snarky "Removal of physical interfaces is not permitted." I then copy all the commands for the interface, open up notepad, put a no in front of all the ones I don't want and then paste it back into the CLI.

A 10 second change has now taken 2 minutes and increased my frustration level unnecessarily.

 Default to the rescue. Just use this command to return the physical interface and any subinterfaces to their default (unconfigured) values. Note: if you only want to default a single subinterface, you can just do a no to remove it and then add it back in.
