Do a 'show ip bgp neighbors' and you will see:
BGP neighbor is x.x.x., remote AS xxx, external link
  BGP version 4, remote router ID x.x.x.x
  BGP state = Established, up for 4w5d
  Last read 00:00:07, hold time is 180, keepalive interval is 60 seconds

This will tell you if the command took effect (I'm assuming you cleared the
neighbors after setting the timers). I have seen this in the past where the
timers don't go into effect. Keep in mind that the timers are negotiated
(the lowest time wins) but I see that it's set on both routers.
That's my 2"

Subject: timer bgp command

Hi, Group:

I use " timers bgp 300 1200" to change the hello
interval and holddown.

When I use " debug bgp keepalive" to check the update.
I still see the hello every 60 s instead of 300s.

I usethe command in both routers.

Then I try "neighbor X.X.X.X timers " in both routers.
I get the same result.

What is wrong with my configuration?
