Configure the MSDP Peer Keep Alive Messages
Configure keep alive messages to adjust the interval in seconds at which an MSDP peer sends keep
alive messages (default is 60 seconds) and the interval at which the MSDP peer waits for
keep alive messages from other peers before it declares them down (default is 75
seconds).
Note
In a peer relationship, the keep alive interval configured on one peer must be at least 1 second less than the hold time configured on the other side of the peer relationship. This is not applicable when the hold time is set to 0 seconds.
Procedure
Example
