run elrp

run elrp {vlan}vlan_name {ports [ports |all | none]} {remote-endpoints vxlan all} {interval interval {seconds | milliseconds} } {retry count}

Description

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

Syntax Description

vlan vlan_name Specifies a VLAN name.
ports Specifies the set of VLAN ports for packet transmission.
remote-endpoints Specifies remote endpoints that are part of this VLAN.
vxlan Specifies VXLAN remote endpoints that are part of this VLAN.
interval Time interval between two successive ELRP PDUs.
interval Interval value between 1–64 seconds or 100–64,000 milliseconds. Default is 1 second.
seconds Specifies that time interval is in the unit of seconds.
milliseconds Specifies that time interval is in the unit of milliseconds.
count Specifies the number of times ELRP packets must be transmitted. The range is 3 to 255 times. The default is 10 times.

Default

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

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

If ports are not specified, the command is applied to all ports.

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 (Simple Network Management Protocol) manager for non-periodic requests.

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

History

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 11.1.

The ability to specify the time interval in milliseconds was introduced in ExtremeXOS 22.4.

VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) remote endpoint option added in ExtremeXOS 22.4.

Designating ports made optional in ExtremeXOS 22.6.
