default address is 0.0.0.0.
ras <AS number (0-65535)>
Sets the remote autonomous system number for the specified peer.
hold <hold time (0, 3-65535)>
Sets the period of time, in seconds, that will elapse before the peer session is torn down because the
switch hasn’t received a “keep alive” message from the peer. The default value is 180 seconds.
alive <keepalive time (0, 1-21845)>
Sets the keep-alive time for the specified peer, in seconds. The default value is 60 seconds.
