Syntax
guard-timer
milliseconds
milliseconds - The guard timer is used to prevent ring nodes from receiving
outdated R-APS messages. During the duration of the guard timer, all
received R-APS messages are ignored by the ring protection control
process, giving time for old messages still circulating on the ring to expire.
(Range: 10-2000 milliseconds, in steps of 10 milliseconds)
Default Setting
500 milliseconds
Command Mode
ERPS Configuration
Command Usage
The guard timer duration should be greater than the maximum expected
forwarding delay for an R-APS message to pass around the ring. A side-effect of the
guard timer is that during its duration, a node will be unaware of new or existing
ring requests transmitted from other nodes.
Example
Console(config-erps)#guard-timer 300
Console(config-erps)#
