interface-shutdown-action
Syntax
interface-shutdown-action [soft-shutdown | hard-shutdown]
Hierarchy Level
[edit switch-options]
Description
Configure device to shut down interfaces or temporarily disable interfaces. This action can be done in addition to the default switching device action for storm control (dropping packets).
Storm control enables the switching device to monitor traffic levels and to drop broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast packets when a specified traffic level—called the storm control level or storm control bandwidth—is exceeded, thus preventing packets from proliferating and degrading the LAN.
When
you include the interface-shutdown-action statement at the
[edit switch-options] hierarchy level, the behavior is to
temporarily disable interfaces when the storm control level
threshold exceeds MAC limit or MAC move limit and packet action shutdown is
configured..
When the configuration statement recovery-timeout is included under the
[edit interfaces ether-options
ethernet-switch-profile]
hierarchy level, a temporarily disabled port will come up again after the specified
time interval.
Default
Default behavior for this configuration is soft shutdown.
Options
hard-shutdown—When the storm control level threshold is exceeded, restricts all packets, port will not be operational.soft-shutdown—When the storm control level threshold is exceeded, restricts data packets while control packets are still received.
Required Privilege Level
