ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1129
configure eaps hellotime
configure eaps <name> hellotime <seconds>
Description
Configures the value of the hello timer the master node uses 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.
This command applies only to the master node. If you configure the polling timers for a transit node,
those values are ignored. If you later reconfigure that transit node as the master node, the polling timer
values is used as the current values.
If you are running ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 with the hello timer value greater than 15 seconds and you
upgrade to ExtremeWare XOS 11.1 or later, you must modify the hello timer to be within the 1 to 15
seconds range.
Example
The following command configures the hellotime value for the EAPS domain “eaps_1” to 2 seconds:
configure eaps eaps_1 hellotime 2
History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.0.
The range for the hello timer was changed to 1 to 15 seconds in ExtremeWare XOS 11.1. The default
value for the hello timer remains unchanged.
name
Specifies the name of an EAPS domain.
seconds
Specifies the number of seconds to wait between transmission of the health-
check packets on the control VLAN. Must be greater than 0; default is 1
