You are configuring Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) on an ArubaOS-CX switch.

ERPS is a feature of ArubaOS-CX that prevents loops at layer 2 on ring networks1. ERPS uses a protocol called Ring Auto Protection Switching (RAPS) to detect link failures and perform fast traffic switchover1. ERPS has two timers that control the protection switching mechanism: guard timer and hold off timer1. The guard timer prevents false switching caused by delayed or lost RAPS PDUs1. The hold off timer causes ERPS switches to delay unblocking a failed link after the link is restored1. This can be useful to prevent frequent topology changes due to link flapping or network instability1. Therefore, this is a guideline for configuring timers for ERPS, and the correct answer is yes. For more information on ERPS and timers, refer to the Aruba Data Center Network Specialist (ADCNS) certification datasheet2 and the ERPS Guide for your switch model1.
