Use the cluster holdtime global configuration command on the switch stack or on the cluster command
switch to set the duration in seconds before a switch (either the command or cluster member switch)
declares the other switch down after not receiving heartbeat messages. Use the no form of this command
to set the duration to the default value.
cluster holdtime holdtime-in-secs
no cluster holdtime
holdtime-in-secs Duration in seconds before a switch (either a command or cluster member
switch) declares the other switch down. The range is 1 to 300 seconds.
The default holdtime is 80 seconds.
Global configuration
Release Modification
12.2(53)SE2 This command was introduced.
Enter this command with the cluster timer global configuration command only on the cluster command
switch. The cluster command switch propagates the values to all its cluster members so that the setting
is consistent among all switches in the cluster.
The holdtime is typically set as a multiple of the interval timer (cluster timer). For example, it takes
(holdtime-in-secs divided by the interval-in-secs) number of heartbeat messages to be missed in a row
to declare a switch down.
This example shows how to change the interval timer and the duration on the cluster command switch.
Switch(config)# cluster timer 3
Switch(config)# cluster holdtime 30
You can verify your settings by entering the show cluster privileged EXEC command.
