DESCRIPTION
This field displays whether the control packets (ARP, BPDU, and/or IGMP) on the port is
being detected or not. It also shows whether loop guard, anti-arp scanning, BPDU guard or
ZULD is enabled on the port.
This field shows the action that the Switch takes for the cause.
• inactive-port - The Switch disables the port.
• inactive-reason - The Switch drops all the specified control packets (such as BPDU) on
the port.
• rate-limitation - The Switch drops the additional control packets the port(s) has to
handle in every one second.
This field displays how many control packets this port can receive or transmit per second. It
can be adjusted in CPU Protection. 0 means no rate limit.
This field displays the errdisable status
• Forwarding: The Switch is forwarding packets. Rate-limitation mode is always in
Forwarding status.
• Err-disable: The Switch disables the port on which the control packets are received
(inactive-port) or drops specified control packets on the port (inactive-reason)
This field displays the time (seconds) left before the port(s) becomes active of Errdisable
Recovery.
This field displays the total packet number dropped by this port where the packet rate
exceeds the rate of mode rate-limitation.
