Description

Instruct the backup router to take primary role if it detects a loss of keepalive signal from the primary Routing Engine.

Default

The on-loss-of-keepalives statement must be included at the [edit chassis redundancy failover] hierarchy level for failover to occur.

When the on-loss-of-keepalives statement is included but graceful Routing Engine switchover is not configured, failover occurs after 300 seconds (5 minutes).

When the on-loss-of-keepalives statement is included and graceful Routing Engine switchover is configured, the keepalive signal is automatically enabled and the failover time is set to 2 seconds.
