Usage
Information
When you configure keepalive, the system sends a self-addressed packet out of the configured
interface to verify that the far end of a WAN link is up. When you configure no keepalive, the
system does not send keepalive packets and so the local end of a WAN link remains up even if the
remote end is down.
loopback
e
Troubleshoot a POS/SDH interface by looping back traffic through the interface or the line.
slot/port
Enter the slot/port information.

seconds between keepalive packets.
