Errdisable reason and recovery procedure: This document defines the errdisabled reason & describes how to recover from it, and provides examples of errdisable recovery. [boxads] Note: The port status of err-disabled displays in the output of the show interfaces interface_number status command. Function of Errdisable: When a switch port is error disabled state, it is effectively shut down and no traffic is sent or received on that port. The port LED is set to the color orange and, when you issue the show interfaces command, the port status shows err-disabled. bellow is an example of error-disabled port status looks like from …

How to Configure Selective QinQ in Huawei Switch: Networking Requirements: As shown in Figure, common Internet access users (using PCs) and IPTV users (using IPTV terminals) connect to the carrier network through Switch A and Switch B and communicate with each other through the carrier network. [boxads] It is required that packets of PCs and IPTV terminals are tagged VLAN 2 and VLAN 3 when the packets are transmitted through the carrier network. Configuration Roadmap: The configuration roadmap is as follows: 1. Create VLANs on Switch A and Switch B. 2. Configure types of interfaces on Switch A and Switch …

How to Configure QinQ on Huawei Switch port/interface: Today I will show how to configure QinQ in Huawei Switch port/interface. As shown in Figure, there are two enterprises on the network, namely, Enterprise 1 and Enterprise 2. Enterprise 1 has two office locations; Enterprise 2 has three office locations. The office locations of the two enterprises access SwitchG or SwitchF of the ISP network. [boxads] The network of Enterprise 1 is divided into VLAN 1000 to VLAN 1500; the network of Enterprise 2 is divided into VLAN 2000 to VLAN 3000. It is required that employees in the same VLAN …

Cisco Switch VLAN Security Today I will discuss about Cisco Switch VLAN Security issue. A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a broadcast domain. All members of a VLAN receive every broadcast packet sent by members of the same VLAN, but they do not receive packets sent by members of a different VLAN. All members of a VLAN are grouped logically into the same broadcast domain independent of their physical location. Adding, moving or changing members is achieved via software within a switch. Routing is required for communication among members of different VLANs.[boxads] The next subsections describe the vulnerabilities and …

Cisco Switch System Availability Today I will discuss about Cisco Switch System Availability issue. Many attacks exist and more are being created that cause denial of service (DoS), either partially or completely, to systems or networks. Switches are just as susceptible to these attacks. These attacks focus on making resources (e.g., system processor, bandwidth) unavailable. [boxads] The following counter measures will mitigate the vulnerabilities to system availability on each switch: To prevent fast flooding attacks and to guarantee that even the lowest priority processes get some processor time use the scheduler interval command. The following Cisco Switch System Availability example …
