Default level
2: System level
Parameters
ipv6-group-name: Name of a peer group, a string of 1 to 47 characters.
ipv6-address: IPv6 address of a peer.
keepalive: Specifies the keepalive interval in seconds, ranging from 0 to 21845.
holdtime: Specifies the holdtime in seconds, whose value is 0 or in the range of 3 to 65535.
Description
Use peer timer to configure keepalive interval and holdtime interval for a peer or peer group.
Use undo peer timer to restore the default.
keepalive interval defaults to 60 seconds, and holdtime interval defaults to 180 seconds.
The timers configured with this command are preferred to the timers configured with the timer
command.
If the holdtime interval is configured as 0, no keepalive message will be sent to the peer, and the peer
connection will never time out. If the keepalive interval is configured as 0 and the negotiated hold
time is not 0, one third of the hold time is taken as the interval for sending keepalive messages.
If neither the holdtime interval nor the keepalive interval is configured as 0, the holdtime interval must
be at least three times the keepalive interval.
After this command is executed, the peer connection is closed at once, and a new connection to the
peer is negotiated using the configured hold time.
