Enabling FEFD on an Interface
To enable, change, or disable FEFD on an interface, use the following commands.
• Enable FEFD on a per interface basis.
INTERFACE mode
fefd
• Change the FEFD mode.
INTERFACE mode
fefd [mode {aggressive | normal}]
• Disable FEFD protocol on one interface.
INTERFACE mode
fefd disable
Disabling an interface shuts down all protocols working on that interface’s connected line. It does not
delete your previous FEFD configuration which you can enable again at any time.
