Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

On Layer 2 networks running ERPS, there may be different requirements for protection switching. For example, on a network where multi-layer services are provided, after a server fails, users may require a period of time to rectify the server fault so that clients do not detect the fault. That is, protection switching is not performed immediately.

You can run the holdoff-timer command to set the Holdoff timer. When a fault occurs, the fault is not immediately reported to ERPS. Instead, the Holdoff timer starts. If the fault persists after the timer expires, the fault will be reported to ERPS.

Precautions

If you run the holdoff-timer command multiple times, only the latest configuration takes effect.

Example

# Set the Holdoff timer to 10 in ERPS ring 10.
