• inactive-reason – The Switch drops all the specified control packets (such as BPDU) on the
port.
• rate-limitation – The Switch drops the additional control packets the ports has to handle in
every one second.
Rate This field displays how many control packets this port can receive or transmit per second. It can
be adjusted in CPU Protection. 0 means no rate limit.
Status This field displays the errdisable status.
• Forwarding: The Switch is forwarding packets. Rate-limitation mode is always in Forwarding
