Usage Guidelines

This command is enabled by default and helps to identify deteriorating cables in the customer network, by identifying any cable signal errors proactively and logging the SYSLOG message so that the user can monitor the link. By default, every 5 seconds the cables connected to the 2.5G ports are monitored for cable signal errors. If the cable signal error scanning interval is altered from the default of five seconds, the new interval remains even after a reload. The configured cable signal error scanning interval is stored in the running and startup configuration.

Cable signal error scanning support is supported for 2.5G ports only.

If the cable signal error scanning interval is set to a value lower than five seconds, it can result in high CPU utilization.

The no form of the command re-enables cable signal error scanning if it has been disabled. If cable signal error scanning is disabled, it remains disabled even after a reload.

Examples

The following example disables cable signal error scanning.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# no cable-signal-error-scan

The following example re-enables cable signal error scanning, if it has been disabled, and restores the default of five seconds.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# cable-signal-error-scan interval 5
