Usage Information
Timer values configured with the neighbor timers command override the timer values configured with any
other command.
When two neighbors, configured with different keepalive and holdtime values, negotiate for new values, the
resulting values are as follows:
•
the lower of the holdtime value is the new holdtime value, and
• whichever is the lower value; one-third of the new holdtime value, or the configured keepalive value, is
the new keepalive value.
neighbor timers extended
Set idle hold time for a BGP neighbor or a peer group.
Syntax
neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name} timers extended idle
holdtime
To return to the default values, use the no neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-
name} timers extended idle holdtime command.
Parameters
ip-address Enter the IP address of the peer router in dotted decimal format.
ipv6-address Enter the IPv6 address of the peer router in X:X:X:X::X format.
peer-group-name Enter the name of the peer group to set the timers for all routers within the peer group.
