Uplink Failure Detection (UFD)
Uplink failure detection (UFD) provides detection of the loss of upstream connectivity and, if you use this with NIC teaming, automatic 
recovery from a failed link.

clear ufd-disable
Re-enable one or more downstream interfaces on the switch/router that are in a UFD-Disabled Error state so that an interface can send 
and receive trac.
Syntax
clear ufd-disable {interface interface | uplink-state-group group-id}
Parameters
interface interface Specify one or more downstream interfaces. For interface, enter one of the following 
interface types:
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet: tengigabitethernet {slot/port/subport | slot/
port/subport-range}
• 40-Gigabit Ethernet:fortyGigE {slot/port}
•
Port channel: port-channel {1–128 | port-channel-range}
Where port-range and port-channel-range specify a range of ports separated 
by a dash (-) and/or individual ports/port channels in any order; for example: 
gigabitethernet 1/1-2,5,9,11-12 port-channel 1-3,5. A comma is 
required to separate each port and port-range entry.
uplink-state-group 
group-id
Re-enables all UFD-disabled downstream interfaces in the group. The valid group-id 
values are from 1 to 16.
Defaults A downstream interface in a UFD-disabled uplink-state group is also disabled and is in a UFD-Disabled Error state.
