Description This command specifies the interval, in seconds, used to send periodic keepalive packets. The receiver pro-
cess expects to receive a keepalive packet every "keepalive interval".  The link is declared down if the 
receiver process does not receive a keepalive within the "timeout interval". The link is declared up once the 
number of continual keepalive packets received equals to the up-count. The nodes at the two endpoints of 
the cHDLC link should be provisioned with the same values.
Default 10
Parameters time-interval — Specifies the interval used to send periodic keepalive packets.
Values 0 — 300 seconds. A value of 0 means no keepalive packets are sent. 
up-count
Syntax up-count up-count
no up-count

Description This command configures the number of continual keepalive packets that have to be received in order to 
declare the link up. It is expected that the nodes at the two endpoints of the cHDLC link are provisioned with 
the same values.
Default 1
Parameters up-count — Specifies the number of continual keepalive packets that must be received in order to declare the 
link up.
Values 1 — 3
