set smds keepalive

set smds keepalive

These runtime commands are used to enable or disable keepalive for SMDS. When the system is rebooted the parameters will revert to the last saved values. To make permanent changes to the configuration, use the SMDS section. These commands set interface-specific parameters and require the use of the interface command to determine which interface to configure.

First enter the following command. See the interface command for more information.

interface WAN slot:port

Then enter:

set smds keepalive {off | on [polling_frequency]}

Syntax Description

off

Shuts keepalive off on the interface where SMDS is activated. Turning keepalive off will automatically declare the SMDS link up.

on [polling_frequency]

Enables keepalive on the interface where SMDS is activated. When keepalive is enabled, the router periodically polls the SMDS switch. If the switch does not respond within 60 seconds the router will declare the SMDS link down and stop sending packets over it.

polling_frequency sets the interval to be used to poll the SMDS switch. The default value is 5 seconds. The allowed range is 0 to 30 seconds. Choosing a value of 0 seconds is equivalent to shutting keepalive off.

Examples

The following example will activate keepalive on interface WAN 0:0 and set the polling frequency to 10 seconds.

interface wan 0:0
set smds keepalive on 10
 

To turn keepalive off:

interface wan 0:0
set smds keepalive off
