# mpls ldp targeted-hello holdtime

#### Syntax

mpls ldp targeted-hello holdtime seconds

no mpls ldp targeted-hello holdtime

#### Release Information

Command introduced in JunosE Release 8.1.0.

#### Description

Configures the LDP targeted-hello hold time, the period for which a sending LSR maintains a record of targeted hello messages from the receiving LSR without receipt of another targeted hello message from that LSR. Each LSR peer sends the hold time in its targeted hello messages; peers negotiate to use the minimum of the hold times proposed by the pair of LSRs.

The hold timer is restarted whenever the LSR receives a targeted hello from the peer in the targeted hello adjacency. The timer expires if no targeted hello is received from the peer within the hold time. The LSR deletes the targeted hello adjacency when the timer expires. If all targeted hello adjacencies are deleted for an LDP session, then the LSR terminates the LDP session.

This command takes effect immediately. The no version restores the default value, 45 seconds.
