    Hi Eelke83,

    We have two behavior of DoS function.
    1. Auto-DoS = Enable, Denial of Service list = Enable
    Switch will disable port automatically when specific packets received and also match in Denial of Service list.
    2. Auto-DoS = Disable,  Denial of Service list = Enable
    Switch will drop the packets when specific packets received and also match in Denial of Service list.

     

    So i have some suggestion that may help you figure out the root cause.

    If you want to keep port status linkup not disable.
    Please change Auto-DoS configuration = Disable.
    Then manual selected the rule you want in Denial of Service list.

    (except DoS TCP port + DoS UDP Port)

     

     

    If you want to disable port when DoS condition work.
    Please find following step:
    1. Disable one rule of Denial of Service.
    2. Monitor every port status that will be disabled or not.
    3. Disable another rule of Denial of Service.
    4. Monitor every port status that will be disabled or not.
    5. Repeat above step to check which rule work in Denial of Service list.
    6. Check network environment to clean the harmful device.

     

    May the solution help you:smileyhappy:
