timer hold-on-failure multiplier

Function

The timer hold-on-failure multiplier command sets the time multiplier for an E-Trunk to detect hello packets.

The undo timer hold-on-failure multiplier command restores the default time multiplier.

By default, the time multiplier for detecting hello packets is 20.

Usage Guidelines

After the time multiplier for detecting hello packets is set, the local device is triggered to send hello packets. The remote device checks the timeout of the local device according to the timeout interval in the received packet. If the remote device is the backup device and does not receive hello packets from the local device within the timeout interval, the remote device becomes the master device.

Timeout interval = Interval for sending hello packets x Time multiplier

It is recommended that you set the time multiplier to 3 or larger.

The timeout interval configured on the local device is used by the remote device to check the timeout of the local device. If the hello packet from the remote device does not contain the timeout interval, the timeout interval of the local device is used.
