The default setting for timer is 60 seconds, and for timeout is 180 seconds.
Extreme Discover Protocol (EDP) is used to gather information about neighbor Extreme Networks switches. EDP-enabled ports advertise information about the Extreme switch to other switches on the interface and receive advertisements from other Extreme switches. Information about other Extreme switches is discarded after the hold down interval timeout value is reached without receiving another advertisement.
The following command configures the EDP advertisement-interval to 2 minutes and the hold down interval to 6 minutes:
configure edp advertisement-interval 120 holddown-interval 360
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 10.1.
This command is available on ExtremeSwitching 5320, 5420, 5520, and 5720 series switches.
