IPX^KA
IPX^KA
IPX^KA controls the time interval between periodic keep-alive messages sent by NBX
to detect session failure. Lowering this parameter increases overhead but more quickly
detects a failed session (usually caused by workstation power-off or network errors).
Refer to IPX^SESS^TO
on page 3-30 for additional information. Note that Novell ®
NetBIOS usually sends a keep-alive message from the workstation once every 5
seconds.
This parameter is not normally changed by the user. To display the current setting of this
parameter, use the INFO PROCESS command.
n
specifies a time interval in the range of 4 through 60, in 1 second units (4 to 60
seconds). The default is 5 (seconds).
IPX^KA should be set to a smaller value than IPX^SESS^TO.
