Parameter
Meaning
state
The current status of BGP backoff. NORMAL is displayed
when BGP backoff is not active, and BGP is either
processing normally, or can be re-established if peers are
disabled. BACKED OFF is displayed when system memory
use has reached its upper threshold and BGP processing is
halted. PEER DISABLED is displayed when the consecutive or
total backoff limits have been reached and system memory
use is still above the lower threshold. DISABLED is displayed
when backoff functionality has been disabled by the user.
Mem Upper Threshold Value
The percentage of system memory use that triggers BGP to
back off. This threshold is set using the backoff parameter.
Mem Upper Notify
Whether BGP is monitoring the upper or lower thresholds
of the system memory use. When TRUE, BGP is monitoring
the upper threshold and its state is NORMAL.
Mem Lower Threshold Value
The percentage of system memory use that the router or
switch must fall below before BGP backoff will end. This
threshold is set using the low parameter.
Mem Lower Notify
Whether BGP is monitoring the upper or lower threshold of
the system memory use. When TRUE, BGP is monitoring the
lower threshold and is in a BACKED OFF or PEER DISABLED
state.
