Tuning and Optimizing BGP Networks

Prerequisites

BGP connections have been created.

Configuring BGP Keepalive Interval and Holdtime

After establishing a BGP connection, two routers send keepalive messages periodically to each other

to keep the connection. If a router receives no keepalive or update message from the peer within the

holdtime, it tears down the connection.

If two parties have the same timer assigned with different values, the smaller one is used by the two

parties.

Follow these steps to configure BGP keepalive interval and holdtime:
