linkup-delay-timer

Syntax

linkup-delay-timer <DELAY-TIMER>
no linkup-delay-timer

Description

Configures the VSX link-up delay timer. The VSX delay timer feature lets you configure the delay timer, which delays bringing downstream VSX links up, following a VSX device reboot or an ISL flap.

The no form of this command restores the VSX link-up delay timer to a default of 180 seconds.

Command context

config-vsx

Parameters

<DELAY-TIMER>

Specifies the VSX LAG bring-up delay in seconds. Range: 0 to 600 seconds

Authority

Administrators or local user group members with execution rights for this command.

Usage

The recommended delay timer setting is determined by the number of MAC addresses, ARPv4, and routes. The link-up delay timer might need to be set to a higher value for larger networks, depending on the ARP and routing table size.
