Use the ip irdp holdtime command in Interface Configuration mode to
configure the value, in seconds, of the holdtime field of the router
advertisement sent from this interface. Use the no form of the command to
set the time to the default value.
Syntax
ip irdp holdtime integer
no ip irdp holdtime
• integer — Integer value in seconds of the holdtime field of the router
advertisement sent from this interface. The holdtime must be no less than
the maximum advertisement interval and cannot be greater than 9000
seconds.
Default Configuration
The holdtime defaults to 3 times the maximum advertisement interval.

User Guidelines
The holdtime is the length of time that a host considers the router
advertisement valid. After the holdtime expires, a host will no longer use the
router as its default gateway.
Example
The following example sets hold time at 2000 seconds for VLAN 15.
console(config)#interface vlan 15
console(config-if-vlan15)#ip irdp holdtime 2000
