neighbor timers
Use this command to set the timers for a specific BGP neighbor.
Use the no parameter with this command to clear the timers for a BGP neighbor.
Command Syntax
neighbor (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD) timers <0-65535> <0-65535>
neighbor (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD) timers connect <1-65535>
no neighbor (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD) timers
no neighbor (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD) timers connect
For BGP unnumbered mode:
neighbor WORD timers <0-65535> <0-65535>
neighbor WORD timers connect <1-65535>
no neighbor WORD timers
no neighbor WORD timers connect
Parameters
A.B.C.D
Address of the BGP neighbor in an IPv4 format
X:X::X:X
Address of the BGP neighbor in an IPv6 format
WORD
Name of a BGP peer group created with the
neighbor WORD peer-group command. When you specify this parameter, the command applies to all peers in the group.
<0-65535>
Keepalive interval. Keepalive messages are sent by a router to inform another router that the BGP connection between the two is still active. The keepalive interval is the period of time between each keepalive message sent by the router.
<0-65535>
Holdtime interval which is the time the router waits to receive a keepalive message. If the router does not receive a message in this period, the router declares the neighbor dead. The holdtime value should be at least 3 times the keepalive time.
connect
BGP connect timer
<1-65535>
Connect timer
Defaults
By default, keepalive timer value is 30 seconds
Command Mode
Router mode and BGP unnumbered mode
Applicability

Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#router bgp 12
(config-router)#neighbor 10.10.10.10 timers 60 230
(config-router)#neighbor 10.10.10.10 timers connect 10
(config-router)#no neighbor 10.10.10.10 timers
For unnumbered peer below configuration is given in BGP unnumbered-mode.
(config)#router bgp 100
(config-router)#bgp unnumbered-mode
(config-router-unnum)#neighbor eth1 timers 40 120
(config)#router bgp 100
(config-router)#bgp unnumbered-mode
(config-router-unnum)#neighbor eth1 timers connect 50
