timers (bgp-router-config)

Enables adjustment of keepalive and holdtime intervals

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Wireless Controllers — RFS 4000

  • Service Platforms — NX 95XX, NX 96XX

Syntax

timers bgp <0-65535> <0-65535>

Parameters

timers bgp <0-65535> <0-65535>
timers bgp <0-65535> <0-65535> Configures the keepalive and holdtime interval in seconds
  • <0-65535> – Specify a keepalive interval from 0 - 65535 seconds. It is the interval, in seconds, between two successive keepalive packets exchanged with this router and its neighbor to keep the TCP connection alive.
    • <0-65535> – Specify a holdtime value from 0 - 65535 seconds. This is the time this router 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.
