Far-End Failure Detection (FEFD)
The Dell EMC Networking operating software supports far-end failure detection (FEFD) on the Ethernet interfaces of the platform.
The FEFD feature detects and reports far-end link failures.
• FEFD is not supported on the Management interface.
• During an RPM failover, FEFD is operationally disabled for approximately 8 to 10 seconds.
• By default, FEFD is disabled.
debug fefd
Enable debugging of FEFD.
Syntax
debug fefd {events | packets} [interface]
To disable debugging of FEFD, use the no debug fefd {events | packets} [interface] command.
Parameters
events Enter the keyword events to enable debugging of FEFD state changes.
packets Enter the keyword packets to enable debugging of FEFD to view information on
packets sent and received.
interface (OPTIONAL) Enter the following keywords and the interface information:
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then
the slot/port/subport[/subport] information.
