Select the action that the Switch takes when the number of control packets exceed the rate

 

 

 

limit on a port, set in the Advanced Application > Errdisable > CPU protection screen.

 

 

 

inactive-port- The Switch disables the port on which the control packets are received.

 

 

 

inactive-reason- The Switch drops all the specified control packets on the port.
