During routine O&M, an engineer finds that theHold Timeparameters of two devices are inconsistent. In this case, which of the following situations occurs?
A.
A peer relationship can be established, and the smaller Hold Time is selected after negotiation.
B.
A peer relationship can be established, and the larger Hold Time is selected after negotiation.
C.
No peer relationship can be established.
D.
A peer relationship can be established, and the devices use their own parameter values to send messages.
In BGP and other TCP-based protocols like OSPF and IS-IS, when devices havedifferent Hold Times, thesmaller value is chosenafter negotiation. This ensuresfaster detectionof communication loss.
The Keepalive and Hold Timers are negotiated during the establishment of a BGP session.
The smaller Hold Timeis used to maintain symmetry and prevent timeouts.
Reference from Huawei HCIP-Datacom-Core Technology Study Guide:
“When negotiating Hold Time, both ends agree to use the smaller of the two values. This value is used to detect failures faster.”
