The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Service heartbeat is a heartbeat message monitoring system that monitors whether the heartbeat messages are received by the Supervisor card within specified time after the Cisco RFGW-10 line card or TCC card boots up.
The heartbeat messages indicate status of the components to the Supervisor card. If the heartbeat messages are not received within the configured time intervals, then the Supervisor card initiates the appropriate action to resolve the possible issues that may have lead to the heartbeat failure.
Effective with Cisco IOS-XE 3.2.0SQ, service heartbeat is enabled or disabled using the service heartbeat command. To enable service heartbeat, configure the following service heartbeat parameters with default values in seconds:
This example shows the configuration that enables service heartbeat:
Router(config)#
service heartbeat warning-timeout 3
Router(config)#
service heartbeat fatal-timeout 5
Router(config)#
service heartbeat alive-timeout 600
