4.
If the FEFD enabled system is configured to use FEFD in Normal mode and neighboring echoes are
not received after three intervals, (you can set each interval can be set between 3 and 300 seconds)
the state changes to unknown.
5.
If the FEFD system has been set to Aggressive mode and neighboring echoes are not received after
three intervals, the state changes to Err-disabled. You must manually reset all interfaces in the Err-
disabled state using the fefd reset [interface] command in EXEC privilege mode (it can be
done globally or one interface at a time) before the FEFD enabled system can become operational
again.

Important Points to Remember
•
FEFD enabled ports are subject to an 8 to 10 second delay during an RPM failover before becoming
operational.
•
You can enable FEFD globally or on a per-interface basis. Interface FEFD configurations override
global FEFD configurations.
•
Dell Networking OS supports FEFD on physical Ethernet interfaces only, excluding the management
interface.
Configuring FEFD
You can configure FEFD for all interfaces from CONFIGURATION mode, or on individual interfaces from
INTERFACE mode.
To enable FEFD globally on all interfaces, use the following command.
