Important Points to Remember
• FEFD enabled ports are subject to an 8 to 10 second delay during an RPM failover before becoming
operational.
• You can enable FEFD globally or on a per-interface basis. Interface FEFD configurations override
global FEFD configurations.
• Dell Networking OS supports FEFD on physical Ethernet interfaces only, excluding the management
interface.
