TIMERS
neighbor timers
Overview Use this command to set the keepalive, holdtime, and connect timers for a specific
BGP or BGP4+ neighbor.
Use the no variant of this command to clear the timers for a specific BGP or BGP4+
neighbor.
Syntax
neighbor <neighborid> timers {<keepalive> <holdtime>|connect
<connect>}
no neighbor <neighborid> timers [connect]
Default The keepalive timer default is 60 seconds, the holdtime timer default is 90 seconds,
and the connect timer default is 120 seconds as per RFC 4271. Holdtime is

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
Parameter Description
<neighborid> {<ip-address>|<ipv6-addr>|<peer-group>}
<ip-address> Specify the address of an IPv4 BGP neighbor, in
dotted decimal notation A.B.C.D.
<ipv6-addr> Specify the address of an IPv6 BGP4+ neighbor,
entered in hexadecimal in the format X:X::X:X.
<peer-group> Enter the name of an existing peer-group. For
information on how to create peer groups, refer

command, the command applies on all peers in
the specified group.
<keepalive> <0-65535> Frequency (in seconds) at which a router sends keepalive
messages to its neighbor.
<holdtime> <0-65535> Interval (in seconds) after which, on not receiving a
keepalive message, the router declares a neighbor dead.
