This video explains how to enable FEFD globally in the normal and aggressive modes. To enable FEFD in the normal mode, type “FEFD, hyphen, global, space, mode, space, normal” in the configuration mode. Also, to view the current FEFD mode, type “show, space, FEFD” in the configuration mode.
To enable FEFD in the aggressive mode, type “FEFD, hyphen, global, space, mode, space, aggressive” in the configuration mode. To view the current FEFD mode, type “show, space, FEFD” in the configuration mode. When you enable normal mode on an interface and a far-end failure is detected, no intervention is required to reset the interface to bring it back to an FEFD-operational state.
In the aggressive mode, manual intervention is required to reset the interface. Note that by default, FEFD is enabled in the normal mode. To disable FEFD on a specific interface type “FEFD, space, disable” in the interface mode. To define the FEFD interval after the FEFD is enabled globally, type “FEFD, hyphen, global, space, interval, space” and then enter the value in the configuration mode. Ensure that you define the interval in seconds and that range is from three to 255 seconds. For more information, refer to the Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide at dell.com/support.
