Requires BFD to be enabled. **Hold Down Time** Time (default 180 seconds) before declaring a neighbor down if no keepalive messages are received. **Connect Timer** Interval to attempt reconnecting with a neighbor after a disconnect. **Send Defaultroute** Sends a default route to the neighbor, useful in small AS environments where a full routing table is not necessary.
