# Error Disable Timeout Configuration

Device > Configure > Error Disable Timeout

From the Error Disable Timeout Configuration dialog box, you can enable/disable the error disable timeout feature on this device. The error disable timeout feature allows you to set a timeout period for ports in the error disable state (A port is in error disable state if it is enabled in NVRAM, but is disabled at runtime by any process). After the specified timeout period, these ports are automatically reenabled, eliminating the need to reenable each of these ports manually.

Note: This dialog box only appears on devices running Catalyst OS version 5.4.1 or later.

This dialog box displays the following data:

- UDLD (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

- Duplex Mismatch (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

- BPDU Port Guard (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

- Channel Misconfiguration (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

- Cross Bar Fall Back (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

- Gl2pt Ingress Loop (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

- Gl2pt Threshold Exceed (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

- Broadcast Suppression (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

- Other Reason (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

- Timeout Interval (30…84000 Seconds) (sysErrDisableTimeoutInterval)

Do one of the following:

- Click OK to continue.

- Click Apply to save the changes in the dialog box.

- Click Cancel to close the dialog box.

- Click Refresh to update the contents of the dialog box.

- Click Print to print the contents of the dialog box.

- Click Help to access online help.

UDLD (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

When a port enters the error disable state because it detected a unidirectional link, then the error disable timeout feature can be enabled/disabled.

Duplex Mismatch (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

When a port enters the error disable state because it detected a duplex mismatch, then the error disable timeout feature can be enabled/disabled.

BPDU Port Guard (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

When a port enters the error disable state because it detected a BPDU guard, then the error disable timeout feature can be enabled/disabled.

Channel Misconfiguration (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

When a port enters the error disable state because it detected a channel misconfiguration, then the error disable timeout feature can be enabled/disabled.

Cross Bar Fall Back (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

Indicates whether a port enters the error disable state when a crossbar failure occurs.

Note: This field is only displayed on Catalyst 6000 devices with a Supervisor II card running Catalyst OS version 7.2.1 or later.

Gl2pt Ingress Loop (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

G Layer2 protocol tunneling incoming loop value.

Note: This field is only displayed on Catalyst 6000 devices running Catalyst OS version 7.2.1 or later.

Gl2pt Threshold Exceed (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

G Layer2 protocol tunneling threshold exceed value.

Note: This field is only displayed on Catalyst 6000 devices running Catalyst OS version 7.2.1 or later.

Broadcast Suppression (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

Indicates whether a port enters the error disable state when broadcast suppression occurs.

Note: This field is only displayed on Catalyst 6000 devices running Catalyst OS version 7.2.1 or later.

Other Reason (SysErrDisableTimeoutEnable)

If a port enters the error disable state for reasons other than the ones listed above, then error disable timeout can be enabled/disabled.

Timeout Interval (30…84000 Seconds) (sysErrDisableTimeoutInterval)

Indicates the error disable timeout interval, in seconds. Valid values range from 30 to 84,000 seconds (24 hours).
