Set the link-up delay timer based on the number of MAC forwarding, ARP, and routing table entries is a guideline for configuring the switches’ link-up delay settings for Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) fabric. The link-up delay timer defines how long a VSX node waits before advertising link state changes to its peer node. This allows the node to synchronize its MAC forwarding, ARP, and routing tables with its peer node before sending or receiving traffic on the newly activated link1.
