NMSP (Network Mobility Services Protocol) is a Cisco proprietary protocol that is used to exchange information between Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE) and Wireless LAN Controllers (WLC) in a wireless network deployment. NMSP echo interval is the time interval after which an echo request is sent by a device to check the availability of the remote device. The default NMSP echo interval between Cisco MSE and a WLC is 60 seconds.

This means that the Cisco MSE and WLC exchange NMSP messages every 60 seconds to ensure that both devices are available and communicating. If the echo response is not received within the specified time interval, it is considered as a failure of the communication link, and the devices will try to re-establish the connection.

It is worth noting that the NMSP echo interval can be changed to a different value as per the network requirements. However, it is recommended to use the default value for most wireless network deployments, as it is designed to provide optimal performance and reliability.
