I tested out whether "reset interface" would increment after a time that would have been well past keep-alive*retries. It did not increment. So, I guess the keep-alive is more of a local check and "reset interface" is incremented after something lo...
I will run a test to see whether or not the keepalives affect the interface reset statistics, or more specifically, whether missing for the max retries causes an increment on the interface reset. I'll report back as soon as I get it. It may be earl...
Thanks for that document. I think it helps explain a little. So, now i have one last question. The document says "An interface is declared down after three update intervals have passed without receiving a keepalive packet unless the retry value is...
Is there anything like this out there for gig e interfaces? Does a gig e interface even send keep-alives if you don't tell it to? I came across this explanation of resets on a serial interface, but it didn't seem to really answer my question. And...
