Ipg (10 Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces); Keepalive - Dell Force10 S4810P Reference Manual

Version 8.1.1.0
pre-Version
6.1.1.0
Usage For 1-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces only.
Information

ipg (10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces)

Set the inter-packet gap for traffic on 10–Gigabit Ethernet interface.
E-Series
Syntax ipg {ieee-802.3ae | shrink}
To return to the default of averaging the IPG, use the no ipg {shrink |
ieee-802.3ae} command.
Parameters
ieee-802.3ae
shrink
Defaults averaging the IPG
Command Mode INTERFACE
Command History
pre-Version
6.1.1.0
Usage For 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces only.
Information
IPG equals 96–bits times from the end of the previous packet to the start of the pre-amble of
the next packet.

keepalive

On SONET interfaces, send keepalive packets periodically to keep an interface alive when it is not transmitting data.
C-Series, E-Series, S-Series, Z-Series, S4810
Syntax keepalive [seconds]
To stop sending SONET keepalive packets, use the no keepalive command.
Parameters
seconds
Defaults Enabled.
Introduced on E-Series ExaScale.
Introduced for E-Series
NOTE: This command is an EtherScale-only command.
Enter the keyword ieee-802.3ae to set the IPG to 12 (12-15) bytes
(packet size dependent).
Enter the keyword shrink to set the IPG to 8 (8-11) bytes (packet
size dependent).
Introduced for E-Series (EtherScale-only).
(OPTIONAL) For SONET interfaces with PPP encapsulation enabled,
enter the number of seconds between keepalive packets. The range
is 0 to 23767. The default is 10 seconds.
