Errdisable Recovery for L2 Security

CCNP Layer 2 Security Hardening, Lab 9/10. You will enable automatic errdisable recovery on a campus access switch so ports shut down by Layer-2 security (Dynamic ARP Inspection, DHCP rate-limit, or storm control) can return to service automatically after a safe interval. The switch already enforces DHCP snooping with a correct trust boundary, DAI validation, and broadcast/multicast/unicast storm-control with shutdown actions. Your job: turn on errdisable auto-recovery for arp-inspection, dhcp-rate-limit, and storm-control, and set the interval to 60 seconds. Verify with show errdisable recovery.

Port Security: Err-Disable Auto Recovery

Configure port security in shutdown mode on host-facing access ports and enable automatic errdisable recovery for psecure-violation. The lab uses two Layer-2 switches connected by a trunk and three Linux hosts in the same VLAN to validate baseline L2 connectivity. You will deploy and verify the global errdisable recovery timer and cause while keeping the trunk healthy. Focus is on deterministic configuration and verification via show commands rather than attempting to trigger live violations.
