Description Use this command to adjust the interval at which BGP KEEPALIVE and HOLDTIME messages are
sent.
Usage Guidelines The KEEPALIVE and HOLDTIME message interval is overwritten when the fast-external-failover
command takes effect on a down link to a peer.
You must enter a value for keep-alive before you can enter a value for hold-time. Both values must
be entered.
Use the no timers command to clear the timers.
