Configuring the Discovery Transmission Time
The discovery transmission time is used in both the discovery transmission state and the
common transmission state to determine how long the port will wait for Hello packets. For
ports in the discovery transmission state, this timer is also used as the interval between send-
ing out Hello packets.
♦
Note
♦
Ports in the common transmission state send out Hello
packets based on the common transmission time as
described in the next section.
Use the
xmapdisctime
command to view or update the discovery transmission time.
To view the current discovery transmission time, enter the following command:
