Timers
To adjust the routing timers for all neighbors, configure the timer values using the timers command. If both the peers
negotiate with different keepalive and hold time values, the final hold time value is the lowest values received. The new
keepalive value is one-third of the accepted hold time value.
● Configure timer values for all neighbors in ROUTER-NEIGHBOR mode.
timers keepalive holdtime
○ keepalive — Time interval in seconds, between keepalive messages sent to the neighbor routers (1 to 65535, default
60).
○ holdtime — Time interval in seconds, between the last keepalive message and declaring the router dead (3 to 65535,
default 180).
