Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 11.1 on the QFX Series.

Description

Disable rather than block an interface when enforcing MAC limiting, MAC move limiting, and storm control, and allow the interface to recover automatically from the error condition after a specified period of time:

Note: The port-error-disable configuration does not apply to preexisting error conditions. It affects only error conditions that are detected after you enable and commit the port-error-disable statement. To clear a preexisting error condition and restore the interface to service, use the clear ethernet-switching port-error command.

  • If you enable the mac-limit statement with the shutdown option and also enable the port-error-disable statement, the switch disables (rather than shuts down) the interface when the MAC address limit is reached.
  • If you have enabled the mac-move-limit statement with the shutdown option and you enable the port-error-disable statement, the switch disables (rather than shuts down) the interface when the maximum number of moves to a new interface is reached.
  • If you enable the storm-control statement with the action-shutdown option and you also enable port-error-disable, the switch disables (rather than shuts down) the interface when broadcast traffic and unknown unicast traffic exceed the specified levels.
