Mode [BGP4+] Router Configuration
Usage [BGP/BGP4+] Keepalive messages are sent by a router to inform another router that the BGP connection between the two is still active. The keepalive interval is the period of time between each keepalive message sent by the router. The holdtime interval is the time the router waits to receive a keepalive message and if it does not receive a message for this period it declares the neighbor dead. The holdtime value must be 3 times the value of the keepalive value.
