HP 7000 dl Router manual Hold-timer hold time, Config-bgp#hold-timer

SROS Command Line Interface Reference Guide BGP Configuration Command Set

hold-timer <hold time>

Use the hold-timercommand to set the default hold time for all neighbors in the BGP process.

Syntax Description

<hold time>	Specifies a time interval (in seconds) within which a keepalive must be received
	from a peer before it is declared dead peer. Range: 0 to 65535

Default Values

By default, the hold time is 90 seconds.

Command Modes

(config-bgp)# BGP Configuration Mode

(config-bgp-neighbor)# BGP Neighbor Configuration Mode

Functional Notes

Using the hold-timercommand in BGP configuration mode sets the default hold time for all neighbors in that BGP process. Using the hold-timercommand in BGP neighbor configuration mode sets the hold time for only that neighbor. The peers will negotiate and use the lowest configured setting. The keepalive interval will be set to one third of the negotiated hold time.

Usage Examples

The following example sets a hold time of 120 seconds for a specific neighbor, with an understood keepalive interval of 40 seconds:

(config-bgp)#hold-timer 120
