values configured with any other command.
When two neighbors, configured with different keepalive and holdtime values,
negotiate for new values, the resulting values are as follows:

neighbor update-source
Enable the software to use Loopback interfaces for TCP connections for BGP sessions.

Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4)
Enter the IP address of the peer router in dotted decimal
format.
Enter the name of the peer group to set the timers for all
routers within the peer group.
Enter a number for the time interval, in seconds, between
keepalive messages sent to the neighbor routers. The range
is from 1 to 65535. The default is 60 seconds.
Enter a number for the time interval, in seconds, between
the last keepalive message and declaring the router dead.
The range is from 3 to 65535. The default is 180 seconds.
keepalive = 60 seconds
holdtime = 180 seconds
Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
the lower of the holdtime value 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.
