Hi! Notes on bugid CSCea46385 states: "Keepalives are sent on ALL interfaces by default in 12.1EA based software. Starting in 12.2SE based releases, keepalives are NO longer sent by default on fiber and uplink interfaces."
So, how do the switch define an uplink interface? I have a scenario that connects a vlan through an edge switch like this: core1 - switch1 - switch2 - core2 the core switches also has a port-channel between them where the vlan is tagged over. so we have a stp block at switch2 towards core2. we're running rapid stp. (so no uplinkfast feature in consideration when setting up the system, that's why they dont have individual trunks to both core boxes each) 12.2SE makes (default) the uplink ports on switch 1 and switch2 not to use keepalives. (meaning the links towards the "core" boxes) But keepalives are enabled (still...default) on the trunk between switch1 and switch2 So, two questions: 1. why are keepalives enabled there? 2. should they be enabled or disabled? Any recommendations?
