Description With DLSw Ethernet redundancy, when a slave router wants to set up a circuit, it
sends an IWANTIT frame to the master router to request one. Upon receipt of the
IWANTIT frame, the master router needs to wait for a while before responding with a
UGOTIT or CKT_TKN frame to acknowledge or deny the setup request. The
dlsw
ethernet-backup timer
command is used to set the wait time.
