Verifying That the Port Error Disable Setting Is Working Correctly
Purpose
Verify that the port error disable setting is working as expected on MAC limited, MAC move limited and rate-limited interfaces on an EX Series switch.
Action
Display information about interfaces:
user@switch> show ethernet-switching interfaces

Meaning
The sample output from the show ethernet-switching interfaces command shows that three of the down interfaces specify the reason that the interface is disabled:
- MAC limit exceeded—The interface is temporarily disabled due to a mac-limit error. The disabled interface is automatically restored to service when the disable-timeout expires.
- MAC move limit exceeded—The interface is temporarily disabled due to a mac-move-limit error. The disabled interface is automatically restored to service when the disable-timeout expires.
- Storm control in efffect —The interface is temporarily disabled due to a storm-control error. The disabled interface is automatically restored to service when the disable-timeout expires.
