Hello Cristiano, I have a port set up with linkflap in my lab. The configuration looks like this: #linkflap set linkflap globalstate enable set linkflap portstate enable fe.1.6 set linkflap action fe.1.6 disableInterface set linkflap threshold fe.1.6 2 set linkflap interval fe.1.6 10 set linkflap downtime fe.1.6 10 ! End
The problem is that you must loose link on the switch for linkflap to work. If you have a wireless device attached to the port and the wireless link drops but the Ethernet link from the switch to the wireless device does not drop link linkflap will not be useful.

I did some experiments with it using a previous firmware version and it didn't work well. - The link would not come up and instead it was going offline more often. - Maybe it's time to try it again? I could do some experiments using linkflap, but I would be more sure of myself if I had anyone's working linkflap parameters.

We currently have a problem that is difficult to identify source. There is a optical wireless link between a C2 Stack and an E1. The Link often fails due to atmospheric factors, and the end-to-end link goes unusable even after the link gets back up. By our experience, the link at first drops a few packets (doing a "PING -T x.x.x.x") then goes completely unusable, dropping every packet. The logging buffer doesn't record anything useful regarding the specific port. The firmware installed is 03.07.29.0000 on the E1 and 05.01.03.0003 on the C2. Until now, the only way we have devised to get the link back up is by doing a manual reset to the link, either disconnecting the cable physically and plugging it back in or doing a "set port disable ge.x.x" and "set port enable ge.x.x". If the Linkflap could solve the problem I would be off the hook. Anyone has experience on these kind of issues? Another option is maybe having a script executing the port disable/enable on its own. Does anyone know how to run commands on a switch automatically, or through "unmanned" telnet sessions? Any kind of software that could accept scripts and run them in a telnet session automatically in case the links goes "flapping" again... Thanks everyone!
