Shutting Down A Port; Setting The Link-Down Detection Timer - Alaxala AX2200S Series Configuration Manual

13.2.5 Shutting down a port

Points to note
Configuring an Ethernet interface might require the execution of multiple commands.
In such a case, if the port enters a link-up state before the configuration is complete,
the Switch cannot communicate as expected. Therefore, we recommend that you
shut down the port first, and then after the configuration is complete, exit the port
from the shutdown state. Always make sure that ports that will not be used are shut
down.
The following shows a configuration example for a Fastethernet port.
Command examples
1. (config)# interface fastethernet 0/10
Specifies the setting for port 0/10.
2. (config-if)# shutdown
Shuts down the port.
3. (config-if)# *****
Configures the port.
4. (config-if)# no shutdown
(config-if)# exit
Exits the port from the shutdown state.

then the Switch is restarted, the port enters an active state. However, if the port was
shut down, its status remains disabled even after the switch is restarted. To change
the status from disabled to active, you must release the port from the shutdown
status by setting the

13.2.6 Setting the link-down detection timer

If the wait time before a link-down is detected after the detection of a link fault is too short,
depending on the remote device, the link might be unstable. You can avoid this problem by
setting a link-down detection timer.
Points to note
Make sure that you set as small a link-down detection timer value as possible without
risking the link becoming unstable. If the link is stable even when a link-down
detection timer is not set, you do not need to set one.
