peer timers

Configures the keep-alive and hold-time timers for peer devices.
Syntax
peer peer-ip timers keep-alive keep-alive-timer hold-time hold-timer
no peer peer-ip timers keep-alive keep-alive-timer hold-time hold-timer
Command Default

The default value for the keep-alive timer is 10 seconds.

The default value for the hold-time timer is 90 seconds.

Parameters
peer-ip
Specifies the IP address of the cluster peer.
keep-alive keep-alive-timer
Specifies the keep-alive interval in seconds. The value can range from 0 through 21845 seconds.
hold-time hold-timer
Specifies the hold-time interval in seconds. The value can range from 3 through 65535 seconds (or 0 if the keep-alive timer is set to 0).
Modes

Cluster configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The peer-ip parameter should be in the same subnet as the cluster management interface. The hold-time must be at least three times the keep-alive time.

Note: The keep-alive VLAN and keep-alive timers are not related. The keep-alive timer is used by CCP.

The no form of the command sets the timers to the default values.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the peer timers. 

device(config)# cluster SX 400
device(config-cluster-SX))# peer 10.1.1.3 timers keep-alive 40 hold-time 120
