Setting Neighbor Timers
EGP uses two configurable timers: the Hello timer and the poll timer.
The Hello timer determines the number of seconds between the local EGP
neighbor’s EGP Hello message retransmissions. This variable represents the RFC
904 T1 timer. By default, EGP sends a Hello message every 60 seconds. You can
supply a value from 30 through 120 seconds.
The poll timer determines the interval between the local EGP neighbor’s EGP poll
message retransmissions. This variable represents the RFC 904 T2 timer. By
default, EGP retransmits a poll message every 180 seconds. You can specify a
value from 120 through 480 seconds.
To set the local EGP neighbor’s Hello or poll timer, complete the following steps:
