No. As he noted, the problem is that the Cisco doesn't behave properly. If the port is down, the Cisco should *say that it is down*, rather than simply ceasing to respond properly. But that's what it does, and that's what you're seeing. Marc, I gather provided a workaround, but that will likely obscure those circumstances when the entire router drops dead. Well, at least, the historical logs will say the wrong thing. No way to do better. I concur: contact TAC; open a ticket.
