Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.4(0.0) Supported on the FN I/O Aggregator.
9.2(0.0) Supported on the M I/O Aggregator.
8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information When you congure keepalive, the system sends a self-addressed packet out of the congured interface to
verify that the far end of a WAN link is up. When you congure no keepalive, the system does not send
keepalive packets and so the local end of a WAN link remains up even if the remote end is down.

Usage Information
If you use this command to congure the minimum number of links in a LAG that must be in “oper up” status, the
LAG must have at least that number of “oper up” links before it can be declared as up. For example, if the required
minimum is four, and only three are up, the LAG is considered down.
