ExtremeWare 7.5 Command Reference Guide
EAPS Commands
configure eaps failtime
configure eaps <name> failtime [<seconds>]
Description
Configures the value of the failtimer the master node uses for EAPS health-check packets.
Syntax Description
Default
The default is three seconds.
Usage Guidelines
Use the
failtime
keyword and its associated
seconds
parameter to specify the amount of time the
master node waits before the failtimer expires. The
seconds
parameter must be set greater than the
configured value for
hellotime
. The default value is three seconds.
Increasing the
failtime
value provides more protection by waiting longer to receive a health-check
packet when the network is congested.
NOTE
In previous versions of ExtremeWare, the secondary port on the Master node would open when the
failtimer expired. In ExtremeWare 7.1 the default behavior has been modified to not open the secondary
port. You can configure the action taken when the failtimer expires by using the
configure eaps
failtime expiry-action
command.
Example
The following command configures the failtimer value for the EAPS domain “eaps_1” to 15 seconds:
configure eaps eaps_1 failtime 15
History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare 6.2.
The behavior for this command was modified in ExtremeWare 7.1 to follow the parameters configured
