Time interval in seconds for the KeepAlive configured for this BGP speaker with this peer. The value of this object will only determine the KEEPALIVE messages' frequency relative to the value specified in bgpPeerHoldTimeConfigd; the actual time interval for the KEEPALIVE messages is indicated by bgpPeerKeepAlive. A reasonable maximum value for this timer would be configured to be one third of that of bgpPeerHoldTimeConfigd. The value of this object is only allowed to be zero (0) if the value of bgpPeerHoldTimeConfigd is also zero (0). If the value of this object is zero (0), no periodical KEEPALIVE messages are sent to the peer after the BGP connection has been established. The suggested value for this timer is 30 seconds. This field can be changed at any time. However, if the field is changed while the peer is admin_status UP, the change will only take effect after the peer has been cycled admin_status DOWN and then UP, thus forcing the peer session to be restarted. In this case, until the peer is set admin_status DOWN, the peer will be marked as out of date (as reported by the config_state field in the AMB_BGP_PEER_STATUS row for the peer).
