Errdisable Recovery

Overview: 

  • Errdisable Recovery is a feature that allows a switch port that has been automatically disabled due to an error condition (errdisable state), to be automatically re-enabled after a specified time
  • This feature helps to restore network connectivity without requiring manual intervention by network administrators

When to use:

  • Used in environments where port errors are short-lived to reduce network downtime
  • Used for networks that are less prone to manual oversight and operational delays in resolving issues
  • Note: Errdisable recovery should not be a permanent solution if the root cause of the issue is not addressed. In such cases, Errdisable recovery will cause consistent link flapping issues
