User Guidelines
The MG-IP periodically sends “keep-alive” pings to the unit at the other end of
each session to verify that the link is still active. When communications is lost
with the other end, the frequency of the pings is increased until the connection
is restored. This capability is normally enabled but can be disabled using this
command.
A session definition requires a destination address for the pseudowire packet
stream. When the header format includes an IP address, the MG-IP will “ping”
the IP address to determine the next-hop MAC address that will be used in the
subsequent pseudowire packet headers. When there is no IP address, as with
CESoEth headers or with MPLS networks that do not use IP, the user must
provide the layer- 2 MAC address explicitly.
When you select the CESoEth option, you enter the MAC using the shce
command as a required parameter. The spe command is an optional location for
changing the target MAC address.
