R3303-HP 6600/HSR6600 Routers Layer 3 - IP Routing Configuration Guide

229
• If the router has established a BGP session with a peer, you must reset the BGP session to validate
the new set timers.
• 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:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN
instance view.
• Enter BGP view:
bgp as-number
• Enter BGP-VPN instance view:
a. bgp as-number
b. ipv4-family vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name
Use either method.
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:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN
instance view.
• Enter BGP view:
bgp as-number
• Enter BGP-VPN instance view:
a. bgp as-number
b. ipv4-family vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name
Use either method.
