EIGRP Hold-Time Issues

mzinzmzinz Member Posts: 328
I have a router that keeps losing routes due to hold-time expiring. Although I'm not yet sure why the hold-time is expiring, I would like to keep functionality up by increasing the hold-time. (So it doesn't lose all of its routes).

On the tunnel interface, where it learns routes, I did: ip hold-time eigrp 23 60 (changing the hold time from 15 to 60 sec).

I then bounced the neighbor relationship, and even rebooted the router. For some reason though, when I show my neighbor, the hold-time keeps bumping up to 15 after getting hello's.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong??

    Router running EIGRP will use timers in neighbor's hello to track him. You can learn more about your condition by debug eigrp packets and watching timers in show ip eigrp neighbor. Also look for number of queued packets per neighbor, should be zero, if not you have problem another then timers.

    mzinz,

    What kind of network segment is between this router and it's neighbor router?
    1. Serial?
    2. GigaEthernet/FastEthernet/Ethernet?
    3. Other?
