31.4 CPU Protection Configuration

Use this screen to limit the maximum number of control packets (ARP, BPDU and/or IGMP) that the
Switch can receive or transmit on a port. Click the Click Here link next to CPU protection in the
Advanced Application > Errdisable screen to display the screen as shown.
Note: After you configure this screen, make sure you also enable error detection for the
specific control packets in the Advanced Application > Errdisable > Errdisable Detect
screen.
DESCRIPTION
This field appears only in stacking mode. Click the drop-down list to choose the slot number of
the Switch in a stack.
This is the number of the port on which you want to configure Errdisable Status. In stacking
mode, the first number is the slot ID and the second is the port number.
This displays the type of the control packet received on the port or the feature enabled on the
port and causing the Switch to take the specified action.
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.
