Configuring basic port parameters

Configuring a global loop detection interval

The loop detection interval specifies how often a test packet is sent on a port. When loop detection
is enabled, the loop detection time unit is 0.1 second, with a default of 10 (one second). The range
is from 1 (one tenth of a second) to 100 (10 seconds). You can use the show loop-detection status
command to view the loop detection interval.

To configure the global loop detection interval, enter a command similar to the following.

TurboIron(config)#loop-detection-interval 50

This command sets the loop-detection interval to 5 seconds (50 x 0.1).

To revert to the default global loop detection interval of 10, enter one of the following.

TurboIron(config)#loop-detection-interval 10

OR

TurboIron(config)#no loop-detection-interval 50

Syntax: [no] loop-detection-interval <number>

where <number> is a value from 1 to 100. The system multiplies your entry by 0.1 to calculate the
interval at which test packets will be sent.

Configuring the device to automatically re-enable ports

To configure the device to automatically re-enable ports that were disabled because of a loop
detection, enter the following command.

TurboIron(config)#errdisable recovery cause loop-detection

The above command will cause the device to automatically re-enable ports that were disabled
because of a loop detection. By default, the device will wait 300 seconds before re-enabling the
ports. You can optionally change this interval to a value from 10 to 65535 seconds. Refer to

“Specifying the recovery time interval”

on page 44.

Syntax: [no] errdisable recovery cause loop-detection

Use the [no] form of the command to disable this feature.

Specifying the recovery time interval

The recovery time interval specifies the number of seconds the device will wait before
automatically re-enabling ports that were disabled because of a loop detection. (Refer to

“Configuring the device to automatically re-enable ports”

on page 44.) By default, the device will

wait 300 seconds. To change the recovery time interval, enter a command such as the following.

TurboIron(config)#errdisable recovery interval 120

This command configures the device to wait 120 seconds (2 minutes) before re-enabling the ports.

To revert to the default recovery time interval of 300 seconds (5 minutes), enter one of the
following commands.

TurboIron(config)#errdisable recovery interval 300

OR

TurboIron(config)#no errdisable recovery interval 120
