hold-time (Protocols MSDP)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Specify the hold-time period to use when maintaining a connection with the MSDP peer. If a keepalive message is not received for the hold-time period, the MSDP peer connection is terminated. According to the RFC 3618, Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP), the recommended value for the hold-time period is 75 seconds.

The hold-time period must be longer than the keepalive interval.

You might want to change the hold-time period and keepalive timer for consistency in a multi-vendor environment.
