Chapter 22 Keepalive Gateway Configuration

22.1 Introduction to Keepalive Gateway

Ethernet port is used to process backup or load balance, for the reason that it is a broadcast

channel, it may not detect the change of physical signal and fails to get to down when the

gateway is down. Keepalive Gateway is introduced to detect the connectivity to the higher-up

gateway, in the case that a Ethernet port connect with a higher-up gateway to form a point-to-

point network topology.

For example: router connects optical terminal device and the line is up all the time, While the

line between moden and remote gateway is down, it is necessary to use a effective method to

detect whether the remote gateway is reachable. At present, detect gateway connectivity by

sending ARP request to gateway on time, if ARP resolution is failing, shutdown the interface, if

ARP resolution is successful, keep the interface up.

Only layer 3 switch supports keepalive gateway function.

22.2 Keepalive Gateway Configuration Task List

Enable or disable keepalive gateway, configure the interval period that ARP request packet is

sent and the retry-count after detection is failing

Show keepalive gateway and IPv4 running status of the interface

1. Enable or disable keepalive gateway, configure the interval period that ARP request packet

is sent and the retry-count after detection is failing

Command

Explanation

Interface mode

keepalive gateway <ip-address>

[{<interval-seconds> | msec <interval-

millisecond >} [retry-count]]

no keepalive gateway

Enable keepalive gateway, configure IP

address of gateway, the interval period that

ARP request packet is sent, and the retry-

count after detection is failing, the no

command disables the function.

2. Show keepalive gateway and IPv4 running status of interface

Command

Explanation

Admin and configuration mode

show keepalive gateway [interface-name]

Show keepalive running status of the

specified interface, if there is no interface is

specified, show keepalive running status of all
