Hey Alef, I was just doing this lab as well. The trick here is that the keep alive will default to 1/3 the hold time. Even though timers 40 90 is configured on R2, the actual keep alive used is 30.
I also came up with a different solution. The book says not to use timers bgp 30 90 or timers 30 90 "under a neighbor statement". I configured a peer session template and used that. My config was: !R2 router bgp 2456 template peer-session R1 timers 30 90 exit-peer-session neighbor 150.10.1.1 inherit peer-session R1 Marko, do you think this is also an acceptable solution? cheers, Ben.

"30 90" is disallowed, but everything else is... The book told you what _not_ to do, but you're free to use anything else :-) -- Marko Milivojevic - CCIE #18427 Senior Technical Instructor - IPexpert FREE CCIE training: http://bit.ly/vLecture Mailto: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Telephone: +1.810.326.1444 Web: http://www.ipexpert.com/ On Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 13:06, Alef <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Here they explicitly state not to use timers 30 90 or neighbor 30 90 for holddown and keepalive for bgp. And the answer in the DSG is : timers 40 90 ? Typical. Either i don't get it or this violates the task. I mean i tried to read very carefully and it seems just a bit odd? 30 90 is not allowed but 40 90 is ? _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com Are you a CCNP or CCIE and looking for a job?
