Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task
IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator
for assistance.
When you delay the processing of hardware link down notifications, the higher layer routing protocols are
unaware of a link until that link is stable.
If the
carrier-delay down milliseconds
command is configured on a physical link that fails and cannot be
recovered, link down detection is increased, and it may take longer for the routing protocols to re-route traffic
around the failed link.
In the case of very small interface state flaps, running the
carrier-delay down milliseconds
command prevents
the routing protocols from experiencing a route flap.
Enter the
show interface
command to see the current state of the carrier-delay operation for an interface.
No carrier-delay information is displayed if carrier-delay has not been configured on an interface.

Examples
This example shows how to delay the processing of hardware link down notifications:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)#
carrier-delay down 10
The following example shows how to delay the processing of hardware link up and down notifications:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)#
carrier-delay up 100 down 100
