not included in the trusted range of VLANs are, by default,
untrusted.
Trusted ports and VLANs are typically connected to internal
controlled networks, while untrusted ports connect to third-
party APs, public areas, or other networks to which access
controls should be applied. When Dell APs are attached
directly to the controller, set the port to be trusted.

checksum Enables end-to-end checksum of packets that pass through
the tunnel.

keepalive Enables sending of periodic keepalive frames on the tunnel
to determine the tunnel status (up or down). You can
optionally set the interval at which keepalive frames are
sent, and the number of times the frames are resent before a
tunnel is considered to be down.

<interval> (Optional) Number of seconds at which keepalive frames are
sent.

fail before the tunnel is considered to be down.
