be configured.
holdtime Enter a number as the hold time. The range is from 0 to 2147483647. The default is
10 seconds. When configured in milli seconds, 200 is the least value that is allowed
to be configured.
msec Enter the keyword msec to specify the time interval value in milli seconds.
NOTE: If you do not specify the msec option, the timer values are considered
as seconds.

quickly but requires more CPU usage.
