Usage Guidelines
Only one VLAN can be configured as a keep-alive VLAN. The keep-alive VLAN cannot be a member VLAN of the Multi-Chassis Trunking (MCT) and this VLAN can be tagged or untagged.
When the CCP is down, the following results occur:
- If the keep-alive VLAN is configured, CCRR messages are sent every second over that VLAN.
- If no packets are received from the peer device for a period of three seconds, the peer is considered down.
- If a keep-alive VLAN is not configured and both the peer devices are up, both peers continue forwarding traffic independently, when the CCP is down.
Note: Keep-alive VLAN configuration is not allowed when the client isolation mode is strict;
and when the keep-alive VLAN is configured, client isolation mode cannot be configured
as strict.
The
no form of the command removes the keep-alive VLAN configuration.
