Port Classification
Port Classification Overview
With the Avaya P460, you can classify any port as “regular” or “valuable”. Setting a
port to “valuable” classification means that a link fault trap is sent in the event of a
link failure. The trap is sent even when the port is disabled.
This feature is particularly useful for the port redundancy application, where you
need to be informed about a link failure on the dormant port.
