(Optional) Enabling State Flapping Suppression on an Eth-Trunk Interface

You can enable state flapping suppression on an Eth-Trunk interface to prevent the Eth-Trunk interface from alternating between Up and Down due to member interface state flapping or received incorrect packets.

Context

  • If the state of an Eth-Trunk interface frequently flaps, the LACP protocol status of the Eth-Trunk interface also flaps, affecting the Eth-Trunk interface operations. To resolve this problem, enable the state flapping suppression function on the Eth-Trunk interface working in LACP mode.
  • By default, an Eth-Trunk interface in LACP mode is enabled to suppress invalid MAC addresses in Ethernet headers of received LACPDUs from flapping, in which case the source MAC addresses of the LACPDUs and system ID are checked. To disable the check, run the lacp dampening unexpected-mac disable command to disable MAC address flapping suppression in Ethernet headers of LACPDUs.

Procedure

  • Enable the state flapping suppression function on an Eth-Trunk interface.

    1. Run system-view

      The system view is displayed.

    2. Run interface eth-trunk trunk-id

      The Eth-Trunk interface view is displayed.

    3. Run lacp dampening state-flapping disable

      The state flapping suppression function is enabled on the Eth-Trunk interface.

    4. Run commit

      The configuration is committed.

  • Disable the invalid-MAC-based state flapping suppression function on an Eth-Trunk interface.

    1. Run system-view

      The system view is displayed.

    2. Run interface eth-trunk trunk-id

      The Eth-Trunk interface view is displayed.

    3. Run lacp dampening unexpected-mac

      The invalid-MAC-based state flapping suppression function is disabled on the Eth-Trunk interface.

    4. Run commit

      The configuration is committed.
