Usage Guidelines
The port debounce time is the amount of time that an interface waits to notify the supervisor of a link
going down. During this time, the interface waits to see if the link comes back up. The wait period is a
time when traffic is stopped.
Caution
When you enable the debounce timer, link up and link down detections are delayed, resulting in a loss
of traffic during the debounce period. This situation might affect the convergence of some protocols.
Examples
This example shows how to enable the debounce timer and set the debounce time to 1000 milliseconds
for an Ethernet interface:
switch#
configure terminal
switch(config)#
interface ethernet 1/1
switch(config-if)#
link debounce time 1000
This example shows how to disable the debounce timer for an Ethernet interface:
switch(config-if)#
no link debounce
time
milliseconds
(Optional) Specifies the extended debounce timer. The range is from 0 to
5000 milliseconds. A value of 0 milliseconds disables the debounce time.
