template
Creates a peer-group template to assign it to BGP neighbors.
Syntax
template template-name
Parameters template-name — Enter a peer-group template name. A maximum of 16 characters.
Default Not congured
Command Mode CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP
Usage Information Members of a peer-group template inherit the conguration properties of the template and share the same update
policy. The no version of this command removes a peer-template conguration.
NOTE: To congure these settings for a non default VRF instance, you must rst enter the ROUTER-
CONFIG-VRF sub mode using the following commands:
1 Enter the ROUTER BGP mode using the router bgp as-number command.
2 From the ROUTER BGP mode, enter the ROUTER BGP VRF mode using the vrf vrf-name
command.
Example
OS10(conf-router-bgp-10)# template solar
OS10(conf-router-bgp-template)#
Supported Releases 10.3.0E or later
timers
Adjusts BGP keepalive and holdtime timers.
Syntax
timers keepalive holdtime
Parameters
• keepalive—Enter the time interval, in seconds, between keepalive messages sent to the neighbor routers,
from 1 to 65535.
• holdtime—Enter the time interval, in seconds, between the last keepalive message and declaring a router
dead, from 3 to 65535.
Default keepalive 60 seconds; holdtime 180 seconds
Command Mode ROUTER-BGP
Usage Information The congured timer value becomes eective after a BGP hard reset. The timer values negotiate from peers. The
no version of this command resets the value to the default.
