To disable the timer, use the no form of this command. link debounce [time milliseconds] no link debounce Syntax Description time milliseconds (Optional) Specifies the extended debounce timer; valid values are from 0 to 5000 milliseconds. A value of 0 milliseconds disables the debounce time. Command Default None Command Modes Interface configuration mode Command History Release 4.0(0)N1(1a) Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines The port debounce time is the amount of time that an interface waits to notify the supervisor of a link going down. During this time, the interface waits to see if the link comes back up. The wait period is a time when traffic is stopped. Caution When you enable the debounce timer, link up and link down detections are delayed, resulting in a loss of traffic during the debounce period. This situation might affect the convergence of some protocols. Examples The following example shows how to enable the debounce timer and set the debounce time to 1000 milliseconds for an Ethernet interface: switch# configure terminal switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/1 switch(config-if)# link debounce time 1000 The following example shows how to disable the debounce timer for an Ethernet interface: switch(config-if)# no link debounce Related Commands Command show interface Description Displays the interface configuration information. 2-28 Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Command Reference OL-16599-01
