ip hold-time eigrp
To configure the hold time for an Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) interface, use
the ip hold-time eigrp command. To restore the default, use the no form of this command.
ip hold-time eigrp instance-tag seconds
no ip hold-time eigrp instance-tag
Syntax Description
Command Default 15 seconds
Command Modes Interface configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines We recommend that you configure the hold time to be at least three times the hello interval. If a router
does not receive a hello packet within the specified hold time, routes through this router are considered
unavailable.
Increasing the hold time delays route convergence across the network.
This command requires the LAN Base Services license.
Examples This example shows how to set the hold time to 40 seconds for the interface:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# router eigrp 209
switch(config-router)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# no switchport
switch(config-if)# ip hold-time eigrp 209 40
switch(config-if)#
