An election office sees access ports errdisabled after link-flap events during a stadium Wi-Fi surge and wants a controlled return to service. Which operational approach fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Errdisable is the switch slamming a noisy door shut after too many flaps. Recovery is the timed reopen once the stadium surge settles—not pretending flaps never happened. Tune recovery for the flap cause so ops get stability without truck rolls for every event.
Full Explanation
Catalyst ports can enter errdisable for causes such as link flap, BPDU guard, and UDLD. Operators should confirm the cause, fix underlying physical or storm issues when possible, and optionally enable errdisable recovery per cause with an interval so ports re-enable automatically. Extending STP timers or disabling protective features does not address flap-driven errdisable, and hardware RMA is not required merely because a port errdisabled. Standardize recovery policy for election-night surge scenarios.
