Monitoring and Verifying Cisco Proprietary RPR Keep Alives
To enable and configure the Cisco proprietary RPR keep alives, perform the following procedure,
beginning in global configuration mode:
Monitoring and Verifying Cisco Proprietary RPR Keep Alives
After Cisco proprietary RPR keep alives are configured, you can monitor their status using the global
command show interface spr 1 and the global command show ons spr keepalive-info pos [ 0 | 1 ].
Example 17-7 and Example 17-8 illustrate the output of these commands.
Example 17-7 Show interface spr 1
Router> show interface spr 1>
SPR1 is down, line protocol is down
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router# interface pos 0 Activates interface configuration mode to
configure the POS interface.
Step 2 Router(config-if)# spr keepalive Enables Cisco proprietary RPR keep alives on the
POS interface.
The no form of this command disables the
Cisco proprietary RPR keep alives. You must shut
down both ends of the link before disabling keep
alives.The keepalive timer is not configurable in
proprietary RPR it is by default set to 5 msec
Caution It is strongly recommended that keep
alives are enabled on Cisco proprietary
RPR.
Step 3 Router# interface pos 1 Activates interface configuration mode to
configure the POS interface.
Step 4 Router(config-if)# spr keepalive Enables Cisco proprietary RPR keep alives on the
POS interface.
The no form of this command disables the
Cisco proprietary RPR keep alives. You must shut
down both ends of the link before disabling keep
alives.
Caution It is strongly recommended that keep
alives are enabled on Cisco proprietary
RPR.
Step 5 Router(config-if)# no shutdown Enables the interface by preventing it from
shutting down.
Step 6 Router(config)# end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7 Router# copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Saves configuration changes to the
TCC2/TCC2P flash database.
