I'm beginning to think that there is no generic way to identify ports in the err-disable state. Nor, more narrowly, any Cisco-specific way to identify err-disabled ports either.
Am I missing something, or is identifying err-disabled ports hard?
test-esx#sh int status | include err
Gi2/0/4 err-disabled 60 auto auto 10/100/1000BaseTX
Gi4/0/36 err-disabled 60 auto auto 10/100/1000BaseTX
test-esx#
Poking through MIB files … I guess I was hoping that ifAdminStatus would offer a “dynamically-down” status … but of course it does not:
ifAdminStatus OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {
up(1), -- ready to pass packets
down(2),
testing(3) -- in some test mode
}
I poked through CISCO-ERR-DISABLE-MIB and don’t see anything port-specific.
SwitchMap offers clues, notably the Speed of '10M' (plausible, but uncommon), plus the string "port is active, but no packets have been seen recently".
Gi2/0/4 60 Active 10M auto port is active, but no packets have been seen recently
Is this an unsolved problem?
