neighbor timers

Syntax

neighbor {<IP-ADDRESS>|<PEER-GROUP-NAME>} timers <KEEPALIVE> <HOLDTIME>

no neighbor {<IP-ADDRESS>|<PEER-GROUP-NAME>} timers <KEEPALIVE> <HOLDTIME>

Description

Sets the timers for a specific BGP neighbor or peer group. When the timer is applied to peer-group then all the neighbors that are part of peer-group will inherit the value configured.

The neighbor connection must be reset using clear ip bgp <NEIGHBOR-IP-ADDRESS> to allow this configuration to take effect.

The no form of this command clears the timers for a specific BGP neighbor or peer group.
