Configure No-Keepalives
Action
To disable the sending of link-layer keepalives on a T3 physical interface, follow these steps:
- In configuration mode, go to the following hierarchy level:[edit]user@host# edit interfaces interface-name
- Configure no-keepalives:[edit interfaces interface-name]user@host# set no-keepalives
- Verify the configuration:user@host# show
For example:
[edit interfaces t3-1/0/0]user@host# show no-keepalives; - Commit the change:user@host# commit
For example:
[edit interfaces t3-1/0/0]user@host# commit commit complete
Meaning
By setting no-keepalives, the link layer is forced to stay up. If the setting remains at keepalive, the router will recognize that the same link-layer keepalives are being looped back and will bring the link layer down.
