| maximum | Displays the maximum allowed linkdowns per 10 seconds supported by system hardware. | 
| downports | Displays ports disabled by link flap detection due to a violation. | 
| action | Displays linkflap actions taken on violating port(s). | 
| operstatus | Displays whether linkflap has deactivated port(s). | 
| threshold | Displays the number of allowed link down transitions before action is taken. | 
| interval | Displays the time period for counting link down transitions. | 
| downtime | Displays how long violating port(s) are deactivated. | 
| currentcount | Displays how many linkdown transitions are in the current interval. | 
| totalcount | Displays how many linkdown transitions have occurred since the last reset. | 
| timelapsed | Displays the time period since the last link down event or reset. | 
| violations | Displays the number of link flap violations since the last reset. | 
| parameters | Displays the current value of settable link flap detection parameters. | 
| metrics | Displays linkflap detection metrics. | 
| port-string | (Optional) Displays information for specific port(s). | 
All command modes.
This example shows how to display the global status of the link trap detection function:
System(rw)->show linkflap globalstate Linkflap feature globally disabled
This example shows how to display ports disabled by link flap detection due to a violation:
System(rw)->show linkflap downports Ports currently held DOWN for Linkflap violations: None.
This example shows how to display the link flap parameters table:
System(rw)->show linkflap parameters Linkflap Port Settable Parameter Table (X means error occurred) Port LF Status Actions Threshold Interval Downtime -------- --------- ------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ge.1.1 disabled ....... 10 5 300 ge.1.2 enabled D..S..T 3 5 300 ge.1.3 disabled ...S..T 10 5 300
show linkflap parameters Output Details provides an explanation of the show linkflap parameters command output.

show linkflap parameters Output Details
| Output... | What it displays... | 
|---|---|
| Port | Port designation. For a detailed description of possible port-string values, refer to the S-, K-, and 7100 Series Configuration Guide. | 
| LF Status | Link flap enabled state. | 
| Actions | Actions to be taken if the port violates allowed link flap behavior. D = disabled, S = Syslog entry will be generated, T= SNMP trap will be generated. | 
| Threshold | Number of link down transitions necessary to trigger the link flap action. | 
| Interval | Time interval (in seconds) for accumulating link down transitions. | 
| Downtime | Interval (in seconds) port(s) will be held down after a link flap violation. | 
This example shows how to display the link flap metrics table:
System(rw)->show linkflap metrics Port LinkStatus CurrentCount TotalCount TimeElapsed Violations -------- ----------- ------------ ---------- ----------- ------------- ge.1.1 operational 0 0 241437 0 ge.1.2 disabled 4 15 147 5 ge.1.3 operational 3 3 241402 0
show linkflap metrics Output Details provides an explanation of the show linkflap metrics command output.

| LinkStatus | Link status according to the link flap function. | 
| CurrentCount | Link down count accruing toward the link flap threshold. | 
| TotalCount | Number of link downs since system start, | 
| TimeElapsed | Time (in seconds) since the last link down event. | 
| Violations | Number of link flap violations on listed ports since system start. |
