Parameters
seconds: Interval (in seconds) for sending keepalive packets, in the range 0 to 32767. A value of 0
disables keepalive packet sending.
Usage guidelines
Because a slow link takes a long period of time to transmit large packets, the sending and receiving of
keepalives may be delayed so long that one end cannot receive keepalive packets from the peer for a
specific number of keepalive periods and shuts down the link. To prevent this, set the interval for sending
keepalive packets to a relatively longer length of time.
When an interface is enabled with PPP, the interval for sending keepalive packets must be the same on
the two ends of the link.
Examples
# Set the interval for sending keepalive packets to 20 seconds on interface Serial 2/0/1.
