Link fault signaling
1
There are two independent link-fault signaling commands link-fault-signaling and
link-fault-signaling ignore-rx. These commands are applicable at both the global (system-level) and
per-port level. Both global and per-port configurations are considered jointly to determine the
resulting per-port configuration. When a global configuration is applied, it will override the
corresponding per-port configuration already present. It is recommended to configure the global
configuration prior to applying per-port configurations.
To configure LFS, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/4
Brocade(config-if-e1000-1/4)# link-fault-signaling
Syntax: [no] link-fault-signaling
LFS is disabled by default.
NOTE
Ensure both sides are LFS ON when using LFS with RX (always on) and another router (which can be
configured ON or OFF). Do not assume all boxes have LFS ON or OFF by default. Be sure and check.
To to disable RX LFS on a specified port, enter the link-fault-signaling ignore-rx command.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/4
Brocade(config-if-e1000-1/4)# link-fault-signaling ignore-rx
Syntax: [no] link-fault-signaling ignore-rx
RX LFS is ignored on the specified port.
Configuration Examples
The following configuration examples show global and port configurations.
TX LFS and RX LFS are enabled on all ports.
Brocade(config)# link-fault-signaling
Brocade(config)#show run
