Setting the errdisable timeout function
Does anyone know is the errdisable timeout function is set?
From the STP best practices guide:
BPDU Guard — PortFast moves an end-user port to forwarding state without going through all of the STP checks and can induce loops in the network. If any BPDU is received on a port where BPDU guard is enabled that port is put into errdisable state. It can then be recovered manually or through the errdisable timeout function. Spanning Tree BPDU Guard is used to disable the port in case a new device tries to enter the already existing topology of STP. Thus devices, which were originally not a part of STP, are not allowed to influence the STP topology.
I could not find this in the CLI manual. I am using 55xx and 35xx series switches.
