Verifying That the Port Error Disable Setting Is Working Correctly

date_range 24-Nov-23

Purpose

Verify that the port error disable setting is working as expected for MAC limited, MAC move limited, and rate-limited interfaces on an EX Series switch, or that MAC limited and storm control interfaces are working as expected for QFX Series switches or NFX Series devices.

Action

Display information about interfaces:

content_copy zoom_out_map
user@switch> show ethernet-switching interfaces             
Interface   State    VLAN members           Blocking 
ge-0/0/0.0  up       T1122                  unblocked
ge-0/0/1.0  down     default                MAC limit exceeded
ge-0/0/2.0  down     default                MAC move limit exceeded
ge-0/0/3.0  down     default                Storm control in effect
ge-0/0/4.0  down     default                unblocked

Meaning

For interfaces disabled by port security features, the sample output from the show ethernet-switching interfaces command shows the reason that the down interface is disabled:

  • MAC limit exceeded—The interface is temporarily disabled because of a MAC limit error. The disabled interface is automatically restored to service when the disable-timeout expires.

  • MAC move limit exceeded—The interface is temporarily disabled because of a MAC move limit error. The disabled interface is automatically restored to service when the disable-timeout expires.

  • Storm control in effect —The interface is temporarily disabled because of a storm control error. The disabled interface is automatically restored to service when the disable-timeout expires.
