hold-timer <hold time>
Use the hold-timer command to set the default hold time for all neighbors in the BGP process.
Syntax Description
<hold time> Specifies a time interval (in seconds) within which a keepalive must be received
from a peer before it is declared dead peer. Range: 0 to 65,535
Default Values
By default, the hold time is 90 seconds.
Applicable Platforms
This command applies to the NetVanta 300, 1000R, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 and Total Access 900
Series units.
Command History
Release 8.1 Command was introduced.
Functional Notes
Using the hold-timer command in BGP configuration mode sets the default hold time for all neighbors in
that BGP process. Using the hold-timer command in BGP neighbor configuration mode sets the hold time
for only that neighbor. The peers will negotiate and use the lowest configured setting. The keepalive
interval will be set to one third of the negotiated hold time.
Usage Examples
The following example sets a hold time of 120 seconds for a specific neighbor, with an understood
keepalive interval of 40 seconds:
(config)#router bgp 1
(config-bgp)#hold-timer 120
