Configuring Optional Interface Features
To configure the debounce timer on a port, perform this task:
On fiber Gigabit Ethernet ports, you can increase the port debounce timer value in increments of
100 milliseconds up to 5000 milliseconds.
This example shows how to enable the port debounce timer on Fast Ethernet port 5/12:
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 5/12
Router(config-if)# link debounce
Router(config-if)# end
This example shows how to display the port debounce timer settings:
Router# show interfaces debounce | include enable
Fa5/12 enable 3100
Adding a Description for an Interface
You can add a description about an interface to help you remember its function. The description appears
in the output of the following commands: show configuration, show running-config, and show
interfaces.
To add a description for an interface, perform this task:
Fiber Gigabit ports 10 milliseconds 100 through 5000 milliseconds
10-Gigabit ports Note With Release 12.1(13)E and la ter releases, you can
configure the port debounce timer on 10 Gigabit Ethernet
ports, but it has no effect. With Release 12.1(19)E and later
releases, you cannot configure the port debounce timer on
10 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
