Verifying That the Port Error Disable Setting Is Working Correctly
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:
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-timeoutexpires.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-timeoutexpires.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-timeoutexpires.
