TAG Name of an existing peer-group. For information on how to create peer groups, refer to the
neighbor peer-group and neighbor remote-as commands. When this parameter is used with a
command, the command applies on all peers in the specified group.
Command Mode
Router mode
Examples
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# router bgp 12
Switch(config-router)# neighbor 10.10.10.10 strict-capability-match
16.69 neighbor timers
Use this command to set the timers for a specific BGP neighbor.
Use the no parameter with this command to clear the timers for a specific BGP neighbor
Command Syntax
(no) neighbor NEIGHBORID timers KEEPALIVE|CONNECT
NEIGHBORID = A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|TAG
A.B.C.D Specifies the address of the BGP neighbor in IPv4 format.
X:X::X:X Specifies the address of the BGP neighbor in IPv6 format.
TAG Name of an existing peer-group. For information on how to create peer groups, refer to the
neighbor peer-group and neighbor remote-as commands. When this parameter is used
with a command, the command applies on all peers in the specified group.
KEEPALIVE= <0-65535> holdtime Frequency (in seconds) at which a router sends keepalive
messages to its neighbor. The default is 60 seconds.
holdtime= <0-65535> Interval (in seconds) after which, on not receiving a keepalive message, the
router declares a neighbor dead. The default is 180 seconds.
CONNECT= connect <0-65535> Specifies the connect timer in seconds.
Command Mode
Router mode
Usage
Keepalive messages are sent by a router to inform another router that the BGP connection between the two is
still active. The keepalive interval is the period of time between each keepalive message sent by the router.
The holdtime interval is the time the router waits to receive a keepalive message and if it does not receive a
message for this period it declares the neighbor dead.
Examples
