proxy-gateway peer-timeout
Enables the VLT node to timeout the transmission of peer’s mac address, when the VLT peer is down.
S3048–ON
Syntax
[no] peer-timeout value
Parameters
value Enter the timeout value in seconds. The range is from 1 to 65535.
Command Modes VLT DOMAIN PROXY GW LLDP
Command History
Version Description
9.8(0.0) Introduced on the S3048-ON and S4048-ON.
9.7(0.0) Introduced on the S6000-ON.
9.7(0.0) Removed the default value on the S-Series and Z-Series.
9.4(0.0) Introduced on the S4810, S4820T, S6000, Z9000, and MXL Switch.
Usage Information When a VLT peer goes down, the local VLT node must stop sending its peer’s MAC address. If this timeout
is congured, the local VLT node will send its peer's MAC address, till the timer expires. By default this timer
value is innity. This timer comes into play, only when the vlt-peer-mac transmit is enabled. Square VLT
Topology with single link connecting to the remote peers, is a typical use case for this conguration.
Example
Dell(conf-vlt-domain-proxy-gw-lldp)# peer-timeout 5
vlt-peer-mac transmit
Enables the device to transmit, the peer's MAC address along with its own mac-address in the LLDP TLV packets, to the remote
VLT Domain.

Version Description
9.8(0.0) Introduced on the S3048-ON and S4048-ON.
9.7(0.0) Introduced on the S6000-ON.
9.4(0.0) Introduced on the S4810, S4820T, S6000, and Z9000.
Usage Information This command enables the device to transmit its VLT peer’s MAC address along with its own MAC address
to the remote VLT domain. By default, a node will send only its own MAC address to the remote VLT domain.
This conguration is applicable only for a LLDP proxy gateway. Square VLT Topology with single link
connecting to the remote peers, is a typical use case for this conguration.
