Configuring Ethernet Ports Link Monitoring
OmniSwitch AOS Release 7 Network Configuration Guide June 2013 page 1-15
• When the wait-to-shutdown timer is running there would be packet loss on that interface. This is
because the port is physical down and only the link-down event is not being communicated to the
switch applications which will continue to send packets to the interface.
• The link-status of the remote connected port will be down when the WTS timer is running since the
port is physically down.
The interfaces wait-to-shutdown command is used to configure the WTS timer value, in multiples of 10
milliseconds. For example, the following commands set the WTR timer value to 30 seconds:
-> interfaces 1/1 wait-to-shutdown 30000
To disable the WTR timer mechanism, set the timer value to zero. For example:
-> interfaces 1/1 wait-to-shutdown 0
By default, the WTS time is disabled.
