Configuring the Heartbeat at the Interface Level
To configure the Heartbeat at the interface-level, use the following sample configuration:
config
instance instance-id gr_instance_id
endpoint pfcp
interface { n4 | sxa }
heartbeat
interval interval
max-retransmissions max_retry_count
retransmission-timeout retry_interval_count
end
NOTES:
-
instance instance-id gr_instance_id —Specify the GR instance ID.
-
endpoint pfcp —Specifies the endpoint configuration mode.
-
interface { n4 | sxa } —Configures the N4 or Sxa interface over which the Heartbeat messages get exchanged between the SMF and the UPF.
-
Heartbeat —Specifies the Heartbeat configuration.
-
interval interval —Specify the Heartbeat interval in seconds. The accepted range is 60–360. The default value is 60 seconds.
NoteSetting the interval to 0, disables the Heartbeat feature.

-
retransmission-timeout retry_interval_count —Specify the Heartbeat retransmission timeout in seconds. Must be in the range of 1–20. The default value is 5.
