The goal is to hold onto routes in the event of a failure at the remote route servers (hosted over the internet). Id prefer to stay with what I have as this particular network prefers to "fail broken" than to drop routes and use alternate paths... I can hold for 3600(1hour) or 0(infinite). I am not sure if the peer will come up with the remote end being so far different from mine. Guess Ill find out tonight :) Curious difference with RouterOS as ive never seen a limit on this on any other platform. On 2014-08-05 15:39, Mike Everest wrote:
Hi Daniel,
That's a pretty high timeout value - is remote keepalive really that long? Seems like that would only be useful for a very VERY stable peer!
Cheers, Mike.

Hi All.
Does anyone have a solution/work around to the BGP hold timer for a peer being locked to below 3600.
At the moment I have Juniper/Cisco nodes running a role im trying to put some CCR's in for but I need to run the BGP holdtime more in the 64800 range.
CCR 1016 - v6.18
Any thoughts?
Daniel
