timer hello (E-Trunk view)

Function

The timer hello command sets the interval at which an E-Trunk sends hello packets.

The undo timer hello command restores the default interval for sending hello packets.

By default, the value of hello-times is 10, in 100 ms. That is, the default interval for sending hello packets is 1s.

Usage Guidelines

The timer hello command sets the interval at which the master and backup devices of an E-Trunk send hello packet. If the backup device receives no hello packet from the master device after certain number of intervals (specified by the timer hold-on-failure multiplier command for detecting hello packets), the backup device becomes the master.

Configuring a timeout period longer than 5 minutes is recommended, so that the Eth-Trunk packets can be sent to the peer device within the timeout period when a master/backup switchover is performed.

Example

# Set the interval for sending hello packets to 9.
