SROS Command Line Interface Reference Guide
keepalive <seconds>
Use the keepalive command to enable the transmission of keepalive packets on the interface and specify
the time interval in seconds between transmitted packets.
Syntax Description
<seconds>
Default Values
By default, the time interval between transmitted keepalive packets is 10 seconds.
Functional Notes
If three keepalive packets are sent to an interface with no response, the interface is considered down. To
detect interface failures quickly, specify a smaller keepalive time.
Usage Examples
The following example specifies a keepalive time of 5 seconds on the virtual PPP interface:
ProCurve(config)#interface ppp 1
ProCurve(config-ppp 1)#keepalive 5
5991-2114
Defines the time interval (in seconds) between transmitted keepalive packets
(valid range: 0 to 32,767 seconds).
