nngenHdlcKeepAlive

Module: GENERIC-HDLC-MIB

OID (symbolic): GENERIC-HDLC-MIB::nngenHdlcKeepAlive

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.15.1.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: The link's keep-alive interval. System will send messages once every chosen interval to check bundle's status.

What is nngenHdlcKeepAlive?

This is the link's keep-alive interval, in seconds, controlling how often the system sends a message to verify a Generic HDLC bundle's status, with a default of 10 seconds. An admin tunes this to balance faster failure detection against extra keep-alive traffic on the bundled link. For example, lowering nngenHdlcKeepAlive from the default 10 to 3 seconds would make the bundle detect a dead peer link more quickly, at the cost of more frequent keep-alive messages.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.15.1.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GENERIC-HDLC-MIB::nngenHdlcKeepAlive

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.15.1.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GENERIC-HDLC-MIB::nngenHdlcKeepAlive.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.15.1.1.1.1 i <value>
