Syntax timers bgp keepalive holdtime no timers bgp • keepalive-The time, in seconds, between BGP KEEPALIVE packets sent to a neighbor. The range is 0 to 65,535 seconds. An small internal jitter is applied to the keepalive interval timer in order to reduce the CPU load that may occur when multiple timers expire simultaneously. • holdtime-The time, in seconds, that BGP continues to consider a neighbor to be alive without receiving a BGP KEEPALIVE or UPDATE packet from the neighbor. If no KEEPALIVE is received from a neighbor for longer than the hold time, BGP drops the adjacency. If the hold time is set to 0, then BGP does not enforce a hold time and BGP does not send periodic KEEPALIVE messages. The range is 0, 3 to 65,535 seconds. Default Configuration The default keepalive time is 30 seconds. The default hold time is 90 seconds. Command Mode BGP Router Configuration mode User Guidelines When BGP establishes an adjacency, the neighbors agree to use the minimum hold time configured on either neighbor. BGP sends KEEPALIVE messages at either 1/3 of the negotiated hold time or the configured keepalive interval, whichever is more frequent. Layer 3 Routing Commands 1446
