Hello Balakrishna

Yes, it is possible to change the scanning interval of BGP routers for next-hop address tracking. This can be done using the bgp scan-time command. This is applied under the BGP router configuration. The range of values can be between 5 and 60 seconds. You can find out more information about this particular command at the following Cisco Command Reference:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/iproute_bgp/command/reference/irg_book/irg_bgp1.html#wp1116049

For Cisco IOS 15.X versions, the minimum scan time has been increased from 5 to 15 seconds.

I hope this has been helpful!
