Basic port parameter configuration
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.
Brocade(config)# loop-detection-interval 10
OR
Brocade(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 Brocade device to automatically re-enable ports that were disabled because of a
loop detection, enter the errdisable recovery cause loop-detection command.
Brocade(config)# errdisable recovery cause loop-detection
The above command will cause the Brocade 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 67.
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 Brocade 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 67.) By default, the device will
wait 300 seconds. To change the recovery time interval, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config)# errdisable recovery interval 120
The above command configures the device to wait 120 seconds (2 minutes) before re-enabling the
ports.
To revert back to the default recovery time interval of 300 seconds (5 minutes), enter one of the
following commands.
Brocade(config)# errdisable recovery interval 300
OR
Brocade(config)# no errdisable recovery interval 120
Syntax: [no] errdisable recovery interval <seconds>
where <seconds> is a number from 10 to 65535.
