run elrp

run elrp vlan_name {ports ports} {interval sec} {retry count}

Description

Starts one-time, non-periodic ELRP packet transmission on the specified ports of the VLAN using the specified count and interval.

Syntax Description

vlan_name Specifies a VLAN name.
ports Specifies the set of VLAN ports for packet transmission.
sec Specifies the interval (in seconds) between consecutive packet transmissions. The range is 1 to 64 seconds. The default is 1 second.
count Specifies the number of times ELRP packets must be transmitted. The range is 3 to 255 times. The default is 10 times.

Default

sec—The interval between consecutive packet transmissions is 1 second.

count—The number of time ELRP packets must be transmitted is 10.

Usage Guidelines

This command starts one-time, non-periodic ELRP packet transmission on the specified ports of the VLAN using the specified count and interval. If any of these transmitted packets is returned, indicating loopback detection, the ELRP client prints a log message to the console. There is no need to send a trap to the SNMP manager for non-periodic requests.

Note

Note

This command is compatible with Extreme Networks switches running only the ExtremeXOS software. If your network contains switches running ExtremeXOS and switches running ExtremeWare, use the configure elrp-client one-shot vlan_name ports [ports | all] interval sec retry count [log | print | print-and-log] command to perform one-time ELRP packet transmission.

If you do not specify the optional interval or retry parameters, the default values are used.

Use the configure elrp-client periodic command to configure periodic transmission of ELRP packets.

The ELRP client must be enabled globally in order for it to work on any VLANs. Use the enable elrp-client command to globally enable the ELRP client.

The ELRP client can be disabled globally so that none of the ELRP VLAN configurations take effect. Use the disable elrp-client command to globally disable the ELRP client.

Example

The following command starts one-time, non-periodic ELRP packet transmission on the VLAN green using the default interval and packet transmission:

run elrp green
