Uplink Failure Detection (UFD)

Uplink failure detection (UFD) provides detection of the loss of upstream connectivity and, if you use this
with network interface controller (NIC) teaming, automatic recovery from a failed link.

NOTE: In Standalone and VLT modes, the UFD group number is 1 by default and cannot be

changed.

The UFD commands described in this chapter are:

defer-timer

enable

defer-timer

Configure a timer that prevents unwanted flapping of downstream ports when the uplink port channel

goes down and comes up.

Syntax

Defaults

10 (Standalone mode)

Parameters

seconds

Specify the time (in seconds) to wait for the upstream port
channel (LAG 128) to come back up before server ports are
brought down. The range is from 1 to 120.
