Dell PowerConnect suspended interface

When working with Dell PowerConnect switch you may encounter a situation where a port transit into suspend mode, due to spanning-tree bpduguard for example, and it's quite similar to err-disable which can be found in Cisco switches.

after fixing the bpduguard issue i had to recover the port from his state, this can be done using the command:

set interface active

Use the set interface up Privileged EXEC Mode command to reactivate an interface suspended by the system.

Syntax

set interface active {ethernet interface | port-channel port-channel-number}

• interface—An ethernet port. The full syntax is: unit/port.
• port-channel-number—A port-channel index.
