Configuring Fefd; Important Points To Remember - Dell Force10 S4810P Configuration Manual

Important Points to Remember

• FEFD enabled ports are subject to an 8 to 10 second delay during an RPM failover before becoming
operational.
• FEFD can be enabled globally or on a per interface basis. Interface FEFD configurations override
global FEFD configurations.
• FTOS supports FEFD on physical Ethernet interfaces only, excluding the management interface.
