6.10.2.39. neighbor timers
This command is used to override the global timer values and set the keepalive and hold timers for a specific
BGP peer. The new values are not applied to adjacencies already in the ESTABLISHED state. A new keepalive or
hold time is applied the next time an adjacency is formed.
To revert the keep alive and hold time for a specific peer, use the no form of this command. After executing this
command, the BGP peer must be reset before the changes take effect.
