Configuring the polling interval
The polling interval specifies the interval at which an interface sends keepalive messages.
To disable sending of keepalive packets, set this interval to 0.
Do not set too small an interval for low-speed links. On a low-speed link, it might take a long time for large packets to be delivered, which can delay sending and receiving of keepalive messages. If an interface fails to receive keepalive messages from the peer within a specified number of polling intervals, it considers the link faulty and closes the link.
To configure the polling interval:
