Configuring basic port parameters
2
If a port is errdisabled in Strict mode, it shows “ERR-DISABLE by itself”.  If it is errdisabled due to its 
associated vlan, it shows “ERR-DISABLE by vlan ?”
The following command displays the current disabled ports, including the cause and the time.
PowerConnect# show loop-detection disable
Number of err-disabled ports: 3
You can re-enable err-disable ports one by one by "disable" then "enable"
under interface config, re-enable all by "clear loop-detect", or
configure "errdisable recovery cause loop-detection" for automatic recovery
index  port         caused-by    disabled-time
1      1/18         itself       00:13:30
2      1/19         vlan 12      00:13:30
3      1/20         vlan 12      00:13:30
This example shows the disabled ports, the cause, and the time the port was disabled. If 
loop-detection is configured on a physical port, the disable cause will show “itself”. For VLANs 
configured for loop-detection, the cause will be a VLAN.
The following command shows the hardware and software resources being used by the 
loop-detection feature.
Vlans configured loop-detection use 1 HW MAC
Vlans not configured but use HW MAC: 1 10

Displaying loop detection resource information
Use the show loop-detection resource command to display the hardware and software resource 
information on loop detection.
PowerConnect# show loop-detection resource
Vlans configured loop-detection use 1 HW MAC
Vlans not configured but use HW MAC: 1 10
                      alloc in-use  avail get-fail    limit  get-mem  size init
configuration pool       16      6     10        0     3712        6    15   16
linklist pool            16     10      6        0     3712       10    16   16
