George,
You can just type in the command and edit your /etc/rc file accordingly
(so things are set correctly upon your next reboot).
It should take the interface about a second or 5, in my experience, before the
change becomes fully active. Expect network traffix to stall during
this, but after
that, things just pick up again without any actual loss of connectivity.
That is, if you've not make any configuration mistakes (eg. on the switch)
that cause you to lose connectivity altogether.
I'd recommend doing it from the RLM so you still have your command-line if
you made a mistake and need to revert back...
Best regards,
Filip
