Setting Keep-Alive Timers and Hold Time

Note: The keep-alive time and hold time must be the same on both cluster peers.

To specify the keep-alive timers and hold time for the peer devices, enter the following commands.

  1. Enter the Global Configuration mode. 
    RUCKUS-1# configure terminal
  2. Configure a cluster name and ID. 
    RUCKUS-1(config)# cluster SW 4000
  3. Specify the keep-alive timers and hold time for the peer device. 
    RUCKUS-1(config-cluster-SW)# peer 10.1.1.3 timers keep-alive 40 hold-time 120

    When using this command, the peer IP address must be in the same subnet as the cluster management interface.

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