(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 interface configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of
this command.
failover timeout {1 | 3 | 5}
no 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 shows how to set the failover time limit for the inline group 0 of the adapter that
is installed in slot 1 to 5 seconds and then remove that setting:
(config)# interface inlineGroup 1/0
(config-if)# failover timeout 5
(config-if)# no failover timeout 5
