-  * Recover - the active/adaptive mode. It attempts to save the connection by sacrificing \\ speed for stability. It identifies the failing port and steps down the speed \\ (e.g., from 1000FD to 100FD). It waits for the **Hold Time** to expire. If errors persist, \\ it steps down again (e.g., to 10HD). If it reaches \\ the lowest setting and still fails, it disables the port entirely. The goal is to maintain a “limping” connection rather than lose all connectivity. This is ideal for cables that are slightly damaged or picking up interference.

-  * Disable port - the **aggressive** mode. It follows a "zero-tolerance" policy for port errors. As soon as a port exceeds the error threshold (''BASE_RATE''), the script immediately shuts the port down using robocfg. This approach protects the rest of the network or a background compilation process from being affected by a "chatty" or failing hardware interface. It forces manual intervention to re-enable the port.
