Syntax Description

ports Physical ports.

After a port is disabled, the port either stays down for the configured disable time value (set in the configure ports link-flap-detection interval threshold disable-time command) or can be re-enabled manually using the clear ports link-flap-detection status command.
log Generates a log event if link-flap threshold is exceeded.
trap Generates an SNMP trap if link-flap threshold is exceeded.
all-actions Adds or deletes all the actions.

Default

By default, all actions are turned off.
