Syntax

Release Information
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 12.2 for the QFX Series.
Description
Set the interval between periodic beacons. Beacons perform virtual link maintenance for VN_Ports in a way that is similar to FIP keepalive advertisements.
The ENode sends periodic beacons every 90 seconds on behalf of the VN_Port. Each received beacon resets the session timer for the virtual link connection to the other VN_Port. If the FCF does not receive a beacon before the beacon timer expires, the VN_Port is considered as “down” and the virtual link is terminated. The beacon timer expires in 2.5 times the configured beacon timer value.
Options
milliseconds—Time in milliseconds between beacons.
Range: 250 through 90000 milliseconds
Default: 8000 milliseconds
Required Privilege Level
