The time to delay the notification of the VE down event. The value can range from 1 through 60 seconds.

Usage Guidelines

When all the ports in the VLAN go into the non-forwarding state, the device waits for the configured time before notifying the Layer 3 protocols of the VE down event. Once the timer expires, if the ports remain in the non-forwarding state, the device notifies the Layer 3 protocols of the VE down event.

If any of the ports comes into the forwarding state before the timer expires, the device cancels the existing timer for the VE down event.

The no form of the command removes the configured delay time.

Examples

The following example shows configuring the delay time on interface 50 to 20 seconds.

device(config)#  interface ve 50
device(config-vif-50)# delay-notifications 20
