Configuration Mode Commands : SteelHead Configuration Commands : Failover Support and Out-of-Band Failure Detection Commands : protocol connection wan keep-alive oob def-intvl
  
protocol connection wan keep-alive oob def-intvl
Specifies the out-of-band (OOB) WAN keep-alive message interval.
Syntax
[no] protocol connection wan keep-alive oob def-intvl <seconds>
Parameters
<seconds>
Interval in seconds. The default interval is 20 seconds with a minimum of 5 seconds.
Usage
A SteelHead appliance uses the 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. You can use this command to adjust the interval in which the messages are sent.
If you want faster peer failure detection, use the protocol connection wan keep-alive oob def-count command to adjust the number of keep-alive messages sent.
Example
amnesiac (config) # protocol connection wan keep-alive oob def-intvl 10
