Usage Guidelines

By default, a port waits one second to receive a health-check reply packet from the port at the other end of the link. If the port does not receive a reply, the port tries six more times by sending up to six more health-check packets. If the port still does not receive a reply after the maximum number of retries, the port goes down.

The no form of the command changes the number of retries to the default value.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure 10 retries as the maximum number of keep-alive attempts a port waits to receive a health-check reply packet. 

device(config)# link-keepalive retries 10
