keepalive-interval
Use this command to set the global value for the interval after which keep-alive packets are sent out.
Each LSR must send keep-alive messages at regular intervals to its LDP peers to keep the sessions active. The keep-alive interval determines the time interval between successive keep-alive messages. Use this command to set this interval. This value is overridden by the keep-alive interval set on the interface. For optimum performance, set this value to no more than one-third the value of the specified keep-alive time-out value.
Use the no parameter to revert to default keep-alive interval.
