Configuration prerequisites

Create BGP connections.

Configuring the 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.
You can configure the keepalive interval and holdtime globally or for a specific peer or peer group. The

actual keepalive interval and holdtime depend on the following cases:

If the holdtime settings on the local and peer routers are different, the smaller one is used.

If the keepalive interval is 0 and the negotiated holdtime is not 0, the actual keepalive interval
equals one-third of the holdtime.

If the keepalive interval is not 0, the actual keepalive interval is the smaller one between one third
of the holdtime and the keepalive interval.

To configure BGP keepalive interval and holdtime:

3.

Configure BGP keepalive
interval and holdtime.

Configure the global keepalive

interval and holdtime:

timer keepalive keepalive hold
holdtime

Configure the keepalive interval

and holdtime for a peer/peer
group:

peer { group-name | ip-address }

timer keepalive keepalive hold
holdtime

Optional.
By default, the keepalive
interval is 60 seconds, and

holdtime is 180 seconds.
