37 Using FDP Enabling FDP at the interface level You can enable FDP at the interface level by entering commands such as the following. BigIron RX(config)# int e 2/1 BigIron RX(config-if-e10000-2/1)# fdp enable Syntax: [no] fdp enable By default, the feature is enabled on an interface once FDP is enabled on the device. Changing the FDP update timer By default, a BigIron RX enabled for FDP sends an FDP update every 60 seconds. You can change the update timer to a value from 5 - 900 seconds. To change the FDP update timer, enter a command such as the following at the global CONFIG level of the CLI. BigIron RX(config)# fdp timer 120 Syntax: [no] fdp timer The parameter specifies the number of seconds between updates and can be from 5 - 900 seconds. The default is 60 seconds. Changing the FDP hold time By default, a BigIron RX that receives an FDP update holds the information until one of the following events occurs: • The device receives a new update. • 180 seconds have passed since receipt of the last update. This is the hold time. Once either of these events occurs, the device discards the update. To change the FDP hold time, enter a command such as the following at the global CONFIG level of the CLI. BigIron RX(config)# fdp holdtime 360 Syntax: [no] fdp holdtime The parameter specifies the number of seconds a device that receives an FDP update can hold the update before discarding it. You can specify from 10 - 255 seconds. The default is 180 seconds. Displaying FDP information You can display the following FDP information: • FDP entries for Brocade neighbors • Individual FDP entries • FDP information for an interface on the device you are managing • FDP packet statistics 1024 BigIron RX Series Configuration Guide 53-1002253-01
