Command History
Usage Guidelines
We recommend that you configure the hold time to be at least three times the hello interval. If a router
does not receive a hello packet within the specified hold time, routes through this router are considered
unavailable.
Increasing the hold time delays route convergence across the network.
This command requires the LAN Base Services license.
Examples
This example shows how to set the hold time to 40 seconds for the interface:
switch#
configure terminal
switch(config)#
router eigrp 209
switch(config-router)#
interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)#
no switchport
switch(config-if)#
ip hold-time eigrp 209 40
switch(config-if)#
