You can configure the switch to not disable an interface when the threshold is crossed. By default, the
threshold disables the interface.
Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide to disable the bit error threshold for an
interface.
Note
Regardless of disabling the switchport ignore bit-error threshold for an interface, the switch generates a
syslog message when bit error threshold events are detected.
Switch Port Attribute Default Values
You can configure attribute default values for various switch port attributes. These attributes will be
applied globally to all future switch port configurations, even if you do not individually specify them at
that time.
Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide to configure switch port attributes.
