I am working on a scenario that requires the frame relay links in the
network to be configured with a 15 second timeout. I used the "keepalive
15" on the interface to do this. However, on the DCE side (the router
acting as the frame switch), no matter what I set the keepalive timer to
(10, 15, or 20 seconds), I always end up with almost every keepalive
interval resulting in both a timeout and a successful response. The reason
I noticed this is because at one point, the "frame switch" said that line
protocol was down but I was still passing traffic.
It has not seemed to cause any problems as far as PVCs going inactive but it
is strange to see all these LMI timeouts. Below is the output of "show
frame lmi" for the interface that has the most timeouts. Any ideas as to
why this might be happening?
