Release Information
Statement introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.
Statement introduced in JUNOS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.
Description
Specify the hold-time value to use when negotiating a connection with the peer. The hold-time value is advertised in open packets and indicates to the peer the length of time that it should consider the sender valid. If the peer does not receive a keepalive, update, or notification message within the specified hold time, the BGP connection to the peer is closed and routing devices through that peer become unavailable.
The hold time is three times the interval at which keepalive messages are sent.
Options
seconds—Hold time.
- Range: 20 through 65,535 seconds
- Default: 90 seconds
