Frame Relay - End to End Keepalives


Frame Relay keepalives allow end to end monitoring of a frame-relay circuit. This enables the local DLCI status to represent the status of the end to end ciruit.

To enable it has to be configured within a frame relay map-class - so its no good looking under the frame-relay sub interface!!

To verify use the command 'show frame-relay end-to-end keepalive'
