5. If the FEFD system has been set to Aggressive mode and neighboring echoes are not received after
three intervals, the state changes to Err-disabled. All interfaces in the Err-disabled state must be
manually reset using the
fefd reset [interface] command in EXEC privilege mode (it can be done
globally or one interface at a time) before the FEFD enabled system can become operational again.
Important Points to Remember
• FEFD enabled ports are subject to an 8 to 10 second delay during an RPM failover before becoming
operational.
• FEFD can be enabled globally or on a per interface basis, interface FEFD configurations override
global FEFD configurations.
• FTOS supports FEFD on physical Ethernet interfaces only, excluding the management interface.
Configuring FEFD
You can configure FEFD for all interfaces from CONFIGURATION mode, or on individual interfaces
from INTERFACE mode.
Enable FEFD Globally
To enable FEFD globally on all interfaces enter the command fefd-global in CONFIGURATION mode.
Report interval frequency and mode adjustments can be made by supplementing this command as well.
