Table 517 hold-time command
Item Description
Syntax family [ipv4]
no family
Context configure>service>vprn>bgp>group
configure>service>vprn>bgp>group>family>neighbor
Description This command specifies the address family or families to be supported over BGP peerings in 
the base router. This command is additive so issuing the family command adds the specified 
address family to the list. 
The no form of the command removes the specified address family from the associated BGP 
peerings
Parameters ipv4 — Provisions support for IPv4 routing information.
Item Description
Syntax hold-time seconds
no hold-time
Context configure>service>vprn>bgp
configure>service>vprn>bgp>group
Description This command configures the BGP hold time, expressed in seconds.
The BGP hold time specifies the maximum time BGP waits between successive messages 
(either keepalive or update) from its peer, before closing the connection. This configuration 
parameter can be set at three levels: global level (applies to all peers), group level (applies to 
all peers in group) or neighbor level (only applies to specified peer). The most specific value is 
used.
Even though the router OS implementation allows setting the keepalive time separately, the 
configured keepalive timer is overridden by the hold-time value under the following 
circumstances:
• If the specified hold-time is less than the configured keepalive time, then the operational 
keepalive time is set to a third of the hold-time; the configured keepalive time is not 
changed.
• If the hold-time is set to zero, then the operational value of the keepalive time is set to zero; 
the configured keepalive time is not changed. This means that the connection with the peer 
is up permanently and no keepalive packets are sent to the peer.
The no form of the command used at the global level reverts to the default value.
The no form of the command used at the group level reverts to the value defined at the global 
level.
The no form of the command used at the neighbor level reverts to the value defined at the 
group level.
