set vline heartbeat rate
Use the
set vline heartbeat rate
command to specify the rate at which heartbeat packets are sent to inline devices
connected in V-Line mode. Changes must be committed before they are implemented on the system.
Syntax
set vline heartbeat rate
rate
Parameters
rate
Specify the rate (in milliseconds) to send heartbeat packets. To be valid, the heartbeat rate set here must be less than
the heartbeat timeout value. Default 250ms. Valid range 1-1000ms. Default 50ms.
Example
Set a heartbeat rate of 25ms on Slot 4 and commit:
CONTROLLER>
select slot 4
SLOT4>
set vline heartbeat rate 25
SLOT4>
show vline
vline mode : vline
Bypass mode : reverse
Heartbeat rate : 25
Heartbeat timeout : 250
Heartbeat status ACDB : OK
Heartbeat status BDCA : OK
Slicing a ingress : 0
Slicing b ingress : 0

set vline heartbeat timeout
Use the
set vline heartbeat timeout
command to specify the heartbeat packets timeout period.
If heartbeat packets are not received within this period, the system immediately activates bypass mode, isolating the
device or the network as appropriate. The default timeout is 250ms. Setting a lower rate means faster detection of an inline
device failure but could produce false-positives caused by latency. Setting a timeout too high, however, could result in
lost packets before the system bypasses the failed device. Changes must be committed before they are implemented on the
system.
Syntax
set vline heartbeat timeout
timeout
Parameters
timeout
Specify a heartbeat timeout period. To be valid, the timeout set here must be greater than the heartbeat rate.
Default 250ms.
Example
Set a heartbeat timeout of 500ms on Slot 4 and commit:
CONTROLLER>
select slot 4
SLOT4>
set vline heartbeat timeout 500
SLOT4>
show vline
vline mode : vline
Bypass mode : reverse
Heartbeat rate : 25
Heartbeat timeout : 500
Heartbeat status ACDB : OK
