protocol connection wan keep-alive oob def-count
Specifies the out-of-band (OOB) WAN keep-alive message count.
Syntax
[no] protocol connection wan keep-alive oob def-count <count>
Parameters
<count> | WAN keep-alive count. The default number of keep-alive messages sent is 2. |
Usage
A SteelHead appliance uses the out-of-band (OOB) connection to inform a peer SteelHead appliance of its capabilities. The OOB connection is also used to detect failures. By default, a SteelHead sends a keep-alive message every 20 seconds, and it declares a peer down after sending two keep-alive messages (40 seconds) with no response received. If you want faster peer failure detection, use this command to adjust the number of keep-alive messages sent. You can use the protocol connection wan keep-alive oob def-intvl command to adjust the interval in which the messages are sent.
Example
amnesiac (config) # protocol connection wan keep-alive oob def-count 3
