• The timer command takes effect for only new BGP sessions.
• After you set new intervals with the peer timer command, the existing BGP session is closed at once,
and a new session to the peer is negotiated by using the configured holdtime.
To configure BGP keepalive interval and holdtime:
Ste
p
Command
Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter BGP view.
bgp as-number N/A
3. Configure BGP keepalive interval
and holdtime.
• Configure the global keepalive
interval and holdtime:
timer keepalive keepalive hold
holdtime
• Configure the keepalive interval
and holdtime for a peer or peer
group:
peer { group-name |
ip-address } timer keepalive
keepalive hold holdtime
Optional.
By default, the keepalive
interval is 60 seconds, and
holdtime is 180 seconds.
Configuring the interval for sending the same update
A BGP router sends an update message to its peers when a route is changed. If the route changes
frequently, the BGP router sends a large number of updates for the route, which can cause route flaps.
This task allows you to configure the interval for sending the same update to a peer or peer group,
avoiding frequent update sending and route flaps.
To configure the interval for sending the same update to a peer or peer group:
Ste

Command
Remarks
1. Enter system view.

N/A
2. Enter BGP view.
bgp as-number N/A
3. Configure the interval for
sending the same update to a
peer or peer group.
peer { group-name | ip-address }
route-update-interval interval
Optional.
By default, the intervals for sending
the same update to an IBGP peer
and an EBGP peer are 15 seconds
and 30 seconds, respectively.
Allowing establishment of EBGP session to an indirectly connected peer or peer group
Direct physical links must be available between EBGP peers. If not, use the peer ebgp-max-hop
command to establish an EBGP session over multiple hops between two peers.
