Auto Disable

Description

The Access Violation Auto Disable function allows the user to disable the port when one of the triggers specified above are activated.  The port can either be permanently deactivated or deactivated for a timeout period.  The duration of the disable is specified by the Auto Re-Enable timeout.  The default disable is 5 minutes.  The timeout allows the port to come back online without manual intervention after the timeout has expired.   This is referred to as err disable on many systems.

Trouble Clearing

 If the timeout value is set to zero, then the port will be permanently disabled.  The port must be manually disabled and re-enabled to clear the alarm and re-enable access.  

 If the Alarms/Notification triggers are enabled, but the Auto Disable is not, then in the FP29 load and above, the alarms will be reported, but the port will remain enabled.  In releases prior to FP29, both the trigger and alarm/notification flags must be enabled for the alarms to be reported, and the port will always be disabled for the duration of the timeout.

 The Access Violation Auto Disable can be configured in the NAC profile.  Profiles  icon->NAC Tab>Edit  icon->Ethernet Port Profiles->
