Information
Timer values configured with the
neighbor timers
command override the timer values
configured with the
timers bgp
command.
When two neighbors, configured with different
keepalive
and
holdtime
values,
negotiate for new values, the resulting values are as follows:
• the lower of the
holdtime
values is the new
holdtime
value, and
• whichever is the lower value; one-third of the new
holdtime
value, or the
configured
keepalive
value is the new keepalive value.
