Hello Experts,

I have found some multiple errdisable commands in my switch. I have no idea why these commands have been defined in my switch. The Network guy before me might have defined these commands. My question is why he has put such a multiple errdisable commands? What if I remove them? If I remove them, will I encounter some issues in my network? I have found these commands in many switches. 

I want to completely remove these errdisable commands from my switches and put a simple and standard configs. Can I simply do it or do I need to analyse something else? Please help!!!! 

Here are the commands I copied from the running-config....... 

errdisable recovery cause udlderrdisable recovery cause bpduguard
errdisable recovery cause security-violation
errdisable recovery cause channel-misconfig (STP)
errdisable recovery cause pagp-flap
errdisable recovery cause dtp-flap
errdisable recovery cause link-flap
errdisable recovery cause sfp-config-mismatch
errdisable recovery cause gbic-invalid
errdisable recovery cause psecure-violation

Hello,
errdisable recovery command is used for automatic enable of interface in case that it went into errdisable state.

For example, if you have configured BPDU guard on interface, and you connect another switch to this interface then port of this switch will go to errdisable state, because it receive BPDU frame.
If you don´t have configured errdisable recovery then for enable port you have to go to configuration and type comands shutdown and no shutdown on that port.
errdisable recovery cause automatic enable of port after specified period of time.
