Port classification overview
With the G250/G350, you can classify any port as either regular or valuable. Classifying a port
as valuable means that a link fault trap is sent in the event of a link failure. The trap is sent even
when the port is disabled. This feature is particularly useful for the port redundancy application,
where you need to be informed about a link failure on the dormant port.
Note:
The 1GB port is classified as valuable by default.
Note:
Port classification CLI commands
Use the following commands to configure port classification. For more information about these
commands, see Avaya G250 and Avaya G350 CLI Reference, 03-300437.
Use the set port classification command to set the port classification to either
●
regular or valuable. Any change in the Spanning Tree state from Forwarding for a valuable
port will erase all learned MAC addresses in the switch.
Use the show port classification command to display a port's classification.
