978 ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide
EAPS Commands
configure eaps hellotime
configure eaps <name> hellotime <seconds>
Description
Configures the value of the hello timer the master node used for the EAPS health-check packet.
Syntax Description
Default
Default is 1 second.
Usage Guidelines
Use the
hellotime
keyword and its associated
seconds
parameter to specify the amount of time the
master node waits between transmissions of health-check packets on the control VLAN. Increasing the
hellotime
value keeps the processor from sending and processing too many health-check packets.
Increasing the
hellotime
value should not affect the network convergence time, because transit nodes
are already sending “link down” notifications.
This command applies only to the master node. If you configure the polling timers for a transit node,
they will be ignored. If you later reconfigure that transit node as the master node, the polling timer
values will be used as the current values.
Example
The following command configures the hellotime value for the EAPS domain “eaps_1” to 2 seconds:
configure eaps eaps_1 hellotime 2
