You can configure ESRP to restart ports in
the ESRP master domain when the downstream switch is from a third-party vendor. This action
takes down and restarts the port link to clear and refresh the downstream ARP
table.
-
To configure port restart, use the following
command:
-
To disable port restart, use the following command:
If a switch becomes a slave, ESRP takes down (disconnects) the
physical links of member ports that have port restart enabled. The disconnection of
these ports causes downstream devices to remove the ports from their FDB tables. This feature allows you to use ESRP in networks that include
equipment from other vendors. After 2 seconds, the ports re-establish connection with
the ESRP switch.
-
To remove a port from the restart configuration, delete
the port from the VLAN and re-add it.
