neighbor timers

Description: 

Sets keepalive and hold-time timers for the specified neighbor or peer group. Overrides values set for the router via the timers bgp command. The no version restores the default values.

Syntax: 

neighbor { ipAddress | peerGroupName } timers keepaliveTime holdTime

no neighbor { ipAddress | peerGroupName } timers [ keepaliveTime ] [ holdTime ]

• ipAddress—Neighbor's IP address
• peerGroupName—Name of a BGP peer group. If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peerGroupName argument, all the members of the peer group inherit the characteristic configured with this command, unless it is overridden for a specific peer.
• keepaliveTime—Interval in seconds between keepalive messages; in the range 0-65535 seconds, default value is 30 seconds; a value of zero prevents BGP from sending keepalive messages
• holdTime—Period in seconds that BGP waits for keepalive messages before declaring the neighbor to be unavailable; in the range 0-65535 seconds; default value is 90 seconds; a value of zero informs BGP not to expect any keepalive messages
