the time interval in seconds between transmitted packets. Use the no form of this command to return to the

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 demand interface:
(config)#interface demand 1
(config-demand 1)#keepalive 5
60000CRG0-35E
Defines the time interval (in seconds) between transmitted keepalive
packets. Range is 0 to 32767 seconds.
