Service Manual

○ When you add a physical port to a port channel already in the Error Disable state, the new member port is also disabled in
the hardware.
○ When you remove a physical port from a port channel in the Error Disable state, the error disabled state is cleared on this
physical port (the physical port is enabled in the hardware).
○ You can clear the Error Disabled state with any of the following methods:
￭ Use the shutdown command on the interface.
￭ Disable the shutdown-on-violation command on the interface (using the no spanning-tree stp-id
portfast [bpduguard | [shutdown-on-violation]] command).
￭ Disable spanning tree on the interface (using the no spanning-tree command in INTERFACE mode).
￭ Disabling global spanning tree (using the no spanning-tree command in CONFIGURATION mode).
To verify that EdgePort is enabled, use the show config command from INTERFACE mode.

Flush MAC Addresses after a Topology Change
Dell EMC Networking OS has an optimized MAC address flush mechanism for RSTP, MSTP, and PVST+ that flushes addresses
only when necessary, which allows for faster convergence during topology changes.
However, you may activate the flushing mechanism defined by 802.1Q-2003 using the tc-flush-standard command, which
flushes MAC addresses after every topology change notification.
To view the enable status of this feature, use the show running-config spanning-tree mstp command from EXEC
Privilege mode.
MSTP Sample Configurations
The running-configurations support the topology shown in the following illustration.
The configurations are from Dell EMC Networking OS systems.
