Syntax

Command Default

The default WTB value is 5500 milliseconds (ms).

Parameters

time: Time in ms. Range is from 5100 through 7000, in multiples of 100.

Usage Guidelines

The WTB time ensures that the clearing of a single Forced Switch (FS) command does not trigger the reblocking of the Ring Protection Link (RPL) when multiple FS situations exist in an Ethernet ring.

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

Examples

The following example configures a WTB time of 5100 ms.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# erp 1
device(config-erp-1)# wtb-time 5100
