Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

On different Layer 2 networks running ERPS, there may be different requirements on protective switchovers. For example, if multi-layer services are provided, users hope that a protective switchover is not performed immediately after a server fails, ensuring that clients do not sense the failure.

In this case, you can set run the holdoff-timer command to set a Holdoff timer. If the fault occurs, the fault is not immediately sent to ERPS until the Holdoff timer times out.

Example

# Set the value of the Holdoff timer to 10 hundred milliseconds for ERPS ring 10.
