In the linkup delay timer configuration for a VSX environment, which action helps reduce the time before routing adjacencies form?

• A. Include LAGs 101 and 102
• B. Exclude LAGs 101 and 102
• C. Increase the delay timer to 240 seconds
• D. Decrease the delay timer to 60 seconds

Answer: (B)

In VSX, the linkup delay timer determines how long the system waits for inter-switch links to come up before routing adjacencies are formed. Excluding LAGs 101 and 102 means those specific links aren’t subjected to that waiting period, so the device can establish adjacencies using the other, ready paths sooner. This targeted exclusion reduces the overall time to form routing adjacencies. Increasing the timer would slow things down, and including the LAGs would force the wait on those links; while lowering the timer globally could help, excluding particular LAGs directly speeds up adjacency formation by bypassing the delay for slower or less critical links.
