Mikrotik routers that supports keep alive for GRE tunnel ?

RouterOS General
1

Hello ,


I really need to know which Mikrotik routers support keep alive configuration when I try to configure it for 5 4 means every seconds for 4 times.

The question is there any Mikrotik that I can use for shorter time for keep alive ?


Best Regards

All RouterBOARD support 00:00:01,4 and the support for something software is done by RouterOS, not from hardware.

Thanks for the answer, but I didn't get the idea can you provide with any model that supports what I asked for ?

Sorry I don't have this much knowledge about Mikrotik .

Read again, and read, this time…

This is a reasonable question because other manufacturers may have different models that use different operating systems and therefor may have different settings for this.

However, when it comes to Mikrotik all models support theses settings because they all run the same version of RouterOS. For more details please check out https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/GRE

@Larsa, and what is wrong on my first reply?

Nothing but maybe somewhat brief, which the follow-up question indicated, hence the more exhaustive answer. Simple as that.

Thanks a lot ,

Actually of course I know for sure that Mikrotik supports keep alive option like Cisco

The thing is we trying to make the time shorter for example in Cisco we are using

keep alive 5 4

every five seconds for 4 times and if there is no response that mean the Tunnel is down

This is why we are thinking to replace Cisco routers with Mikroik models that supports faster reaction for example

keep alive 2 2 = every two seconds for two times and so on

The default setting is 10s,10 (ie ten secs, ten retries) thus a 2 by 2 would be “keepalive=2s,2” or like the full cli cmd line:

/interface gre add remote-address=the.cisco.ip.address keepalive=2s,2 name=gre-to-cisco

Thanks a lot for your answer I thought I needed a specific model to apply such configuration.

But now I understand that any type of routers from Mikrotik will support this feature.
