Configuring the Common Transmission Time
Use the xmapcmntime command to view or change the time between sending Hello update
packets in the common transmission state. (This timer is only used in the common transmis-
sion state.) A switch sends an update for a port just before or after the common transmission
time expires.
♦ Note ♦
The switches avoid synchronization by jittering the
common transmission time by plus or minus ten
percent of the configured value. For example, if the
default common transmission time is used (300
seconds), the jitter is plus or minus 30 seconds.
When a Hello packet is received from an adjacent switch before the common transmission
time expires, the switch sends a Hello reply and restarts the common transmission timer.
To view the current common transmission time, enter the following:
xmapcmntime
A message similar to the following displays:
XMAP Common Phase Timeout Interval is 300 seconds.
To change the interval, enter the command with the desired value (the value must be
between 1 and 65535):
xmapcmntime 200
A message similar to the following displays:
XMAP Common Phase Timeout Interval is 200 seconds.
