Uplink Failure Detection (SMUX mode)
In Standalone or VLT modes, by default, all the server-facing ports are tracked by the operational status of the
uplink LAG. If the uplink LAG goes down, the aggregator loses its connectivity and is no longer operational. All
the server-facing ports are brought down after the specified defer-timer interval, which is 10 seconds by
default. If you have configured VLAN, you can reduce the defer time by changing the defer-timer value or
remove it by using the no defer-timer command.
