Far-End Failure Detection
Far-end failure detection (FEFD) is a protocol that senses remote data link errors in a network. FEFD responds by sending a unidirectional
report that triggers an echoed response after a specied time interval. You can enable FEFD globally or locally on an interface basis.
Disabling the global FEFD conguration does not disable the interface conguration.
Figure 73. Conguring Far-End Failure Detection
The report consists of several packets in SNAP format that are sent to the nearest known MAC address.
In the event of a far-end failure, the device stops receiving frames and, after the specied time interval, assumes that the far-end is not
available. The connecting line protocol is brought down so that upper layer protocols can detect the neighbor unavailability faster.
