Configures this BGP neighbor‘s keepalive and holdtime durations
Note
The keepalive and holdtime settings configured at the neighbor level override those configured on the BGP router.
Supported in the following platforms:
Service Platforms — NX9500, NX9600
Syntax
timers [<0-65535> <0-65535>|connect <0-65535>]
Parameters
timers [<0-65535> <0-65535>|connect <0-65535>]
timers <0-65535> <0-65535>
Sets the keepalive and holdtime intervals
<0-65535> – Specifies the keepalive interval from 0 - 65535 seconds. It is the interval, in seconds, between two successive keepalive packets exchanged with this neighbor to keep the TCP connection alive.
<0-65535> – Specifies the holdtime interval from 0 - 65535. This is the time this neighbor will wait without receiving a keepalive packet from its neighbor before declaring it dead. If the time since the last keepalive packet received (from its neighbor) exceeds the value set here, the neighbor is declared dead.
timers connect <0-65535>
Sets the BGP connect time. This is the interval, in seconds, after which BGP tries to connect to a dead peer.
<0-65535> – Specify a value from 1 - 65535 seconds.
