times: Specifies the keepalive number in the range of 1 to 255. The default value is 3.
Usage guidelines
This command enables the tunnel interface to send keepalive packets at the specified interval. If the
device receives no response from the peer within the timeout time, it shuts down the local tunnel
interface. The device brings the local tunnel interface up if it receives a keepalive acknowledgment
packet from the peer. The timeout time is the result of multiplying the keepalive interval by the
keepalive number.
The device always acknowledges the keepalive packets it receives whether or not GRE keepalive is
enabled.
GRE/IPv6 mode tunnel interfaces do not support this command.
Examples
# Enable GRE keepalive, set the keepalive interval to 20 seconds, and set the keepalive number to
5.
