holdoff-time

Specifies a value for the Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP) holdoff timer.

Syntax

holdoff-time time

no holdoff-time

Command Default

The default holdoff-time value is 0 milliseconds (ms).

Parameters

time: Time in ms. Range is from 0 through 10000, in intervals of 100.

Modes

ERP configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

To prevent unnecessary Signal Fail events resulting from port flapping, when a link error occurs the event is not reported immediately. When the hold-off timer expires, ERP checks to see whether the error still exists.

Use the no form of this command to restore the default value.

Examples

The following example configures a holdoff-time of 100 ms.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# erp 1
device(config-erp-1)# holdoff-time 100
