action-shutdown

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Release Information

Statement introduced in JUNOS Release 9.6 for EX Series switches.

Description

Shut down or disable interfaces when the storm control level is exceeded, as follows:

• If you set both the action-shutdown and the port-error-disable statements, the interfaces are disabled temporarily and recover automatically when the disable timeout expires.
• If you set the action-shutdown statement and do not the specify the port-error-disable statement, the interfaces that are enabled for storm control are shut down when the storm control level is exceeded and they do not recover automatically from that port-error condition. You must issue the clear ethernet-switching port-error command to clear the port error and restore the interfaces to service.

Default

The action-shutdown option is not enabled. When the storm control level is exceeded, the switch drops unknown unicast and broadcast messages on the specified interfaces.
