reload-delay enable

Enables reload delay on a physical, port-channel, or loopback interface.

Syntax

reload-delay enable delay-time
no reload-delay enable

Command Default

No interface level reload-delay is enabled.

Parameters

delay-time
(Optional) Set the length of time before allowing traffic to be routed through an interface. The range is 1 through 3600 seconds.

Modes

Privileged EXEC mode

Usage Guidelines

If a node is reloaded and the traffic flow is directed to an interface before it is operational, the traffic is dropped. Setting the reload-delay timer allows the interface to become fully operational before traffic is routed to it.

Use the reload-delay enable command to enable reload-delay on an interface. This is a required configuration; if reload-delay enable is not set at the interface, a configuration error is raised. By default, interface level settings override global settings.

The reload-delay time on an interface is optional. If there is no delay-time set at the interface level, the global setting is used. If no delay-time is set either on the interface or globally, the configuration is ignored.

Examples

The following example configures a reload-delay time of 120 seconds on a port-channel.

device(config)# interface port-channel 10
    device(config-Port-channel)# reload-delay enable 120

The following example removes a reload-delay time from a port-channel.

device(config)# interface port-channel 10
    device(config-Port-channel)# no reload-delay enable
