(config-if) failover timeout

To set the maximum time for the inline interface to transition traffic to another port after a failure event,

use the failover timeout command. To disable this function, use the

no form of this command.

failover timeout {1 | 3 | 5}

Syntax Description

Defaults The default is 1 second.

Command Modes interface configuration

Device Modes application-accelerator

Usage Guidelines The failover timeout command is used in inlineGroup interface scope. It sets the maximum time (in

seconds) for the inline interface to transition to a fail-to-wire mode of operation after a failure event

occurs (such as a power outage and kernel crash). For example, if the timeout is set to 3 seconds, traffic

is dropped for a maximum of 3 seconds after the WAE loses power or suffers a kernel crash. After this

time, all traffic received on either port of the group interface is sent out of the other port in the group.

The default timeout is 1 second.

Examples The following example sets the failover time limit for the inline group 0 of the adapter that is installed

in slot 1 to 5 seconds and then removes that setting:

(config)# interface inlineGroup 1/0

(config-if)# failover timeout 5

(config-if)# no failover timeout 5
