Connectivity Guide
If the interface state changes to err-disabled, use the fefd reset [interface] global command to reset these interfaces. The
unknown or err-disabled state brings the line protocol down so that the protocols above it can detect that the peer link is down.

Restrictions
• You can enable FEFD globally or on an interface. If FEFD is enabled globally, the FEFD interface conguration overrides global FEFD
conguration.
• OS10 supports FEFD only on physical interfaces. FEFD is not supported on any other interfaces. However, you can enable FEFD on
individual physical interfaces that belong to a port channel.
Enable FEFD globally
To congure FEFD globally:
1 Do one of the following:
• Congure FEFD Normal mode globally using the fefd-global command in CONFIGURATION mode.
OS10(Config)# fefd-global
• Congure FEFD Normal mode globally using the fefd-global mode normal command in CONFIGURATION mode.
OS10(Config)# fefd-global mode normal
