Fault-Finder port-level link-flap

Overview

Detection of link-flap and taking action on the port is done via fault-finder command at 3 different sensitivity levels (low, medium and high). The configuration in fault-finder for link-flap is a global configuration affecting all ports on the switch/stack. To provide further granularity to link-flap detection and action which provides different link-flap detection and action configuration for each port rather than the same configuration for all ports on the switch/stack. The per-port configuration will supersede the global configuration for fault-finder link-flap.

A configurable option to re-enable ports disabled by link-flap after a waiting period is also been added. The waiting period time is expressed in unit of seconds in the range 0 to 604800. Maximum allowed waiting period is one week. Zero is the default value, meaning that the port will not be re-enabled automatically.


[NOTE: ]

NOTE: A very important point is the wording of “link-flap” itself – i.e. the word “link”. This condition should be at the link/port-level granular, allowing alerts and actions only on those certain links/ports where the functionality is needed.
