This optional parameter defines the timeout in seconds that is used when waiting for M3UA Heartbeat responses. Setting this to a non-zero value enables peer availability checks with M3UA Heartbeat messages. This is not set by default.
If there are no M3UA messages received after 2 consecutive Heartbeat messages, the peer is automatically disconnected.
# Monitor connectivity to the peer with M3UA heartbeat messages
HeartbeatTimeout 3
Note
Heartbeat messages are always responded to. You do not have to set HeartbeatTimeout for responses.
