accumulated. When the accumulated penalty exceeds the congured suppress threshold (2400), the interface state is set to Error-Disabled
state. After the ap (ap 3), the interface ap stops. Then, the accumulated penalty decays exponentially and when it reaches below the
set reuse threshold (300), the interface is unsuppressed and the interface state changes to “up” state.
