time
Specifies the failover time. By default, the failover time is 60 seconds, and the range is 30 to 300

Usage Guidelines
For switch management functions to hitlessly transition between the master and the slave, timer
expiration is required. When you initiate hitless failover, the failover timer begins.
The failover timer configures the time it takes from when hitless failover begins until the relearned
layer 3 databases are linked to the FDB. All FDB entries that are not linked to one of the databases at the
timeout are deleted.
The
parameter specifies the failover time. By default, the failover time is 60 seconds, and the range
time
is 30 to 300 seconds.
This command is supported only on the MSM-3.
Example
The following command configures the failover time to be 120 seconds:
configure msm-failover timeout 120
