Specifies the time in seconds for which the device considers a BGP connection without traffic to still be valid.
The device negotiates this value with the BGP neighbors during connection establishment. The lower of the two values is considered to be valid.
Note: If negotiation results in a value of "0", the device considers the connection to be valid until it receives a connection error or the connection breaks. No keepalive messages are sent to the BGP neighbors during this period, even if the keepalive timer is set with a value.
Important: In accordance with the RFC, the values "1" and "2" are not permitted.
