Layer 3 Routing Commands 1304
neighbor connect-retry-interval
Use this command in to configure the initial connection retry time for a
specific neighbor.
Syntax
neighbor { ip-address | ipv6-address [ interface interface-id ] | autodetect
interface interface-id} connect-retry-interval retry-time
no neighbor { ip-address | ipv6-address [ interface interface-id ] | autodetect
interface interface-id} connect-retry-interval
• ip-address —The neighbor’s IPv4 address.
• ipv6-address —The neighbor’s IPv6 address. If the neighbor’s IPv6 address
is a link local address, the local interface must also be specified. The
interface must be a VLAN routed interface.
• interface interface-id —A routing interface identifier (VLAN identifier).
• autodetect interface interface-id —The routing interface on which the
neighbor’s link local IPv6 address is auto detected. The interface must be a
VLAN routed interface.
• retry-time —The number of seconds to wait before attempting to establish
a TCP connection with a neighbor after a previous attempt failed.
Default Configuration
The default value is 2 seconds.

User Guidelines
If a neighbor does not respond to an initial TCP connection attempt, the
switch retries three times. The first retry is after the retry interval configured
with neighbor connect-retry-interval. Each subsequent retry doubles the
previous retry interval. So by default, the TCP connection is retried after 2, 4,
and 8 seconds. If none of the retries is successful, the adjacency is reset to the
IDLE state and the IDLE hold timer is started. BGP skips the retries and
