The McAfee Data Exchange Layer (DXL) Broker Management Broker Keepalive Interval must be set to a minimum of 1 minute. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

The McAfee DXL Broker Keepalive interval determines how often a ping occurs between brokers. The default is 1 minute. If the Threat Intelligence Exchange (TIE) is the only Broker, a keepalive interval of 1 is sufficient.
