Defining The Icmp Keepalive Parameters; Example Of Configuring Icmp Keepalive - Avaya G250 Administration

Configuring WAN interfaces
The keepalive-icmp command includes the following parameters:
destination ip address — the destination IP address for the keepalive packets.
●
next hop MAC address — the next hop MAC address for the keepalive packets. This
●
parameter is only relevant for the WAN Fast Ethernet port.

Defining the ICMP keepalive parameters

Use the following commands to define the ICMP keepalive parameters. For more information
about these commands, see Avaya G250 and Avaya G350 CLI Reference, 03-300437.
Use the keepalive-icmp timeout command to set the timeout (in seconds) for
●
receiving the keepalive response. The default value is 1.
Use the keepalive-icmp success-retries command to set the number of
●
consecutive successful keepalive packets necessary to set the interface's keepalive status
as up. The default value is 1.
Use the keepalive-icmp failure-retries command to set the number of
●
consecutive failed keepalive packets necessary to set the interface's keepalive status as
down. The default value is 4.
Use the keepalive-icmp interval command to set the interval (in seconds) between
●
keepalive packets. The default value is 5.
Use the keepalive-icmp source-address command to set the source IP address of
●
the keepalive packets. The default value is the interface's primary IP address.
Use the show keepalive-icmp command to display the interface's ICMP keepalive
●
status and parameters.

Example of configuring ICMP keepalive

The following example configures ICMP keepalive on interface FastEthernet 10/2 to send
keepalive packets to IP address 135.64.2.12 using MAC 11.22.33.44.55.66, at five second
intervals. If a response is not received within one second, the keepalive packet is considered to
have failed. After three consecutive failed packets, the interface is declared to be down. After
two consecutive successful packets, the interface is declared to be up.
G350-001# interface FastEthernet 10/2
G350-001(super-if:FastEthernet 10/2)# keepalive-icmp 135.64.2.12
11.22.33.44.55.66
G350-001(super-if:FastEthernet 10/2)# keepalive-icmp interval 5
G350-001(super-if:FastEthernet 10/2)# keepalive-icmp timeout 1
G350-001(super-if:FastEthernet 10/2)# keepalive-icmp failure-retries 3
G350-001(super-if:FastEthernet 10/2)# keepalive-icmp success-retries 2
Done!
