What is the difference between keepalive timeout configured on AP level and at Global Configuration level?
Scope
KB ARTICLE TYPE: Configuration
RELATED PRODUCTS: All AP models

KEYWORDS: keepalive timeout, global configuration, AP
Solution
User can configure keepalive timeout of both the AP level configuration as well as Global Configuration.
[global configuration]conf
ap-keepalive-timeout
[ap configuration]
keepalive-timeout
Global keepalive timeout setting, when configured, is applicable to all APs. This is a useful command when there are a large number of APs involved.
The keepalive command under AP configuration however over-rides the global setting for the particular AP for which it is configured.
Example: if the global setting is set to 25 and a particular AP's setting is set to 10, then the keep-alive timeout for that particular AP will be set to 10.
