Usage Guidelines

Enter this command with the cluster timer global configuration command only on the cluster command

switch. The cluster command switch propagates the values to all its cluster members so that the setting

is consistent among all switches in the cluster.

The holdtime is typically set as a multiple of the interval timer (cluster timer). For example, it takes

(holdtime-in-secs divided by the interval-in-secs) number of heartbeat messages to be missed in a row

to declare a switch down.

This example shows how to change the interval timer and the duration on the cluster command switch.

Switch(config)# cluster timer 3

Switch(config)# cluster holdtime 30

You can verify your settings by entering the show cluster privileged EXEC command.
