Port Link-Flap Detection
- Disables port—After the port is disabled due to excessive link flapping, the port either stays down for the configured disable time value or can be re-enabled manually.
- Reports issue to Syslog—Adds an entry in the log for a link down event.
- Generates SNMP trap—SNMP trap generated for a link down event.
You can configure the interval, threshold (maximum number of link down events), and disable time; and which of the preceding actions to take on a per port basis.
