ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1123
configure eaps failtime
configure eaps <name> failtime <seconds>
Description
Configures the value of the failtimer the master node uses for EAPS health-check packets.
Syntax Description
Default
The default is 3 seconds.
Usage Guidelines
Use the
failtime
keyword and its associated
seconds
parameter to specify the amount of time the
master node waits before the failtimer expires. The
seconds
parameter must be set greater than the
configured value for
hellotime
. The default value is three seconds.
Increasing the
failtime
value provides more protection by waiting longer to receive a health-check
packet when the network is congested.
NOTE
You configure the action taken when the failtimer expires by using the
configure eaps failtime expiry-
action
command.
In ExtremeWare XOS 11.0, the failtimer range was 2 to 60 seconds.
Example
The following command configures the failtimer value for the EAPS domain “eaps_1” to 15 seconds:
configure eaps eaps_1 failtime 15
History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.0.

for the failtimer remains unchanged.
name
