Usage Guidelines
The port debounce time is the amount of time that an interface waits to notify the supervisor of a link going

traffic is stopped.
When you enable the debounce timer, link up and link down detections are delayed, resulting in a loss of

traffic during the debounce period. This situation might affect the convergence of some protocols.
Examples This example shows how to enable the debounce timer and set the debounce time to 1000 milliseconds for
an Ethernet interface:
switch# configure terminal

switch(config-if)# link debounce time 1000
This example shows how to disable the debounce timer for an Ethernet interface:
