Error Disable
29.1 Error Disable Overview
This chapter shows you how to configure the rate limit for control packets on a port, and set the
Switch to take an action (such as to shut down a port or stop sending packets) on a port when the
Switch detects a pre-configured error. It also shows you how to configure the Switch to
automatically undo the action after the error is gone.
29.1.1 What You Can Do
• Use the Errdisable Status screen (
) to view whether the Switch
detected that control packets exceeded the rate limit configured for a port and related
information.
• Use the CPU Protection screen (
) to limit the maximum number of
control packets (ARP, BPDU and/or IGMP) that the Switch can receive or transmit on a port.
• Use the Errdisable Detect screen (
) to have the Switch detect
whether the control packets exceed the rate limit configured for a port and configure the action
to take once the limit is exceeded.
• Use the Errdisable Recovery screen (
) to set the Switch to
automatically undo an action after the error is gone.
Use this screen to configure error disable related settings. Click Advanced Application >
