Configuring Layer 2 Interfaces

Configuring the Error-Disabled Recovery Interval

 

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 3

show interface status err-disabled

Displays information about err-disabled

 

 

interfaces.

 

Example:

 

 

switch(config)#show interface status

 

 

err-disabled

 

Step 4

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Copies the running configuration to

 

 

the startup configuration.

 

Example:

 

 

switch(config)#copy running-config

 

 

startup-config

 

This example shows how to enable err-disabled recovery under all conditions:

switch(config)#errdisable recovery cause all switch(config)#

Configuring the Error-Disabled Recovery Interval

You can use this procedure to configure the err-disabled recovery timer value. The range is from 30 to 65535 seconds. The default is 300 seconds.

Procedure

 

Command or Action

Step 1

config t

 

Example:

 

switch#config t

 

switch(config)#

Step 2

errdisable recovery interval interval

Example:

switch(config)#errdisable recovery interval 32

switch(config-if)#

Step 3 show interface status err-disabled

Example:

switch(config)#show interface status err-disabled

Purpose

Enters configuration mode.

Specifies the interval for the interface to recover from the err-disabled state. The range is from 30 to 65535 seconds. The default is 300 seconds.

Displays information about err-disabled interfaces.

Step 4

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Copies the running configuration

 

 

to the startup configuration.

 

Example:

 

 

switch(config)#copy running-config

 

 

startup-config

N5KC5596TFA specifications

The Cisco Systems N5KC5596TFA is a high-performance data center switch designed specifically for modern architectures requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity. As part of the Nexus 5000 series, the N5KC5596TFA addresses the needs of virtualized environments, cloud computing, and highly dynamic workloads, making it an essential choice for enterprises and service providers.

One of the standout features of the N5KC5596TFA is its impressive port density. The switch offers 48 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports and 4 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) uplinks, providing flexibility to connect a variety of devices and ensuring high throughput across the network. This port configuration is ideal for connecting multiple servers and storage devices, making it perfect for environments with significant data traffic.

The switch supports a range of advanced technologies such as Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) for improving scalability and multi-tenancy in data center networks. VXLAN encapsulates Layer 2 Ethernet frames within Layer 4 UDP packets, allowing for a larger address space and effective overlay networking, which is crucial for cloud deployments.

Another notable aspect of the N5KC5596TFA is its support for Data Center Bridging (DCB), which enhances the reliability and performance of Ethernet networks. DCB features like Priority Flow Control (PFC) and Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) help to minimize data loss and ensure Quality of Service (QoS) for various types of traffic, including storage and regular data, which is critical in a converged infrastructure.

Security is also a priority with the N5KC5596TFA, as it comes equipped with features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs) and port security, helping to safeguard the network from unauthorized access and potential threats.

In terms of management, the switch offers integration with Cisco's Data Center Network Manager (DCNM), providing tools for monitoring, management, and automation, which simplifies operational tasks. Additionally, it supports Cisco's Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), enabling a more comprehensive and application-focused approach to networking.

Overall, the Cisco Systems N5KC5596TFA is engineered for organizations looking to build robust, highly efficient, and secure data center environments. Its combination of high density, versatile connectivity options, and advanced networking technologies makes it a powerful solution for meeting the demands of today’s enterprise workloads.
