ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1125
configure eaps failtime expiry-action
configure eaps <name> failtime expiry-action [open-secondary-port | send-
alert]
Description
Configures the action taken when the failtimer expires.
Syntax Description
Default
Default is send-alert.
Usage Guidelines
By default the action is to send an alert if the failtimer expires. Instead of going into a “Failed” state, the
master node remains in a “Complete” or “Init” state, maintains the secondary port blocking, and writes
a critical error message to syslog warning the user that there is a fault in the ring. An SNMP trap is also
sent.
If the EAPS ring contains non-EAPS devices, you must use the
open-secondary-port
parameter.
NOTE
Use caution when setting the failtimer expiry action to
open-secondary port.
Using this configuration, if the
master node loses three consecutive hello PDUs, the failtimer will expire—but there may not be a break in the ring.
Opening the secondary port in this situation would create a loop.
Example
The following command configures the failtimer expiry action for EAPS domain “eaps_1”:
configure eaps eaps_1 failtime expiry-action open-secondary-port
