14.1.8 Configuring the port reset function

Use the port resetting functionality for GSRP-unaware switches that are connected to a GSRP switch. When the master GSRP switch enters the backup state, it temporarily disables the links on the ports on which resetting is configured.

<Structure of this section>

(1) Setting the port to be applied

Points to note: Configure port resetting. You can configure Ethernet interfaces or port channel interfaces this way.

Command examples

(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

Switches to the Ethernet interface configuration mode for port 1/0/1.
(config-if)# gsrp 1 reset-flush-port

Configures port resetting on port 1/0/1.

(2) Configuring Port Down Time

Points to note: Set the port-down time to be applied when port resetting is used. By default, the port-down time is three seconds. Set the port-down time if you use port resetting if the link-down detection time of a neighbor switch is long. If a local GSRP switch is paired with a Switch that can configure the link-down detection time, such as a Switch with a link-down detection timer (link debounce configuration command), specify a port-down time that is longer than link-down detection time.

Command examples

(config)# gsrp 1

Switches to GSRP configuration mode.
(config-gsrp)# reset-flush-time 5

Sets 5 seconds as the port down time.
