Keepalive
You can configure the keepalive interval, which is the frequency at which the router
sends messages to the other end, to ensure a network interface is alive.
The interval is adjustable in 1second increments down to 1-second. An interface is
declared down after some update intervals (=keepalive interval x “count” value) pass
without receiving a keepalive packet.
Note:
The keepalive messages vary with the encapsulation type. If the encapsulation
type is different from the other end, the interface may be declare down.
Related Commands : interface <ifname> keepalive / show interface
To set the keepalive timer for a specific interface, use the keepalive command.
COMMAND
(conf)# interface <ifname> keepalive <seconds> [<count>]
Parameters
<ifname> - interface name
<seconds> - number of seconds, that defines the keepalive
interval.
<count> - number of keepalive intervals to declare down for the
interface. If you omit this parameter, the value is 3.
To verify your changes, use the following command.
COMMAND
(conf)# show interface [<ifname>]
Note:
If you omit the interface name, all interfaces are listed.
Usage Examples:
(conf)# int s0 keepalive 1 10
(conf)# int s0 keepalive 0
=> To t
urn off keepalives entirely, enter 0-second for the keepalive interval.
(conf)# show interface s0
