Configuring Passive Peering
When you enable a peer-group, the software sends an OPEN message to initiate a TCP connection.
If you enable passive peering for the peer group, the software does not send an OPEN message, but it
responds to an OPEN message.
When a BGP neighbor connection with authentication configured is rejected by a passive peer-group,
Dell Networking OS does not allow another passive peer-group on the same subnet to connect with the
BGP neighbor. To work around this, change the BGP configuration or change the order of the peer group
configuration.
You can constrain the number of passive sessions accepted by the neighbor. The
limit
keyword allows
you to set the total number of sessions the neighbor will accept, between 2 and 265. The default is 256
sessions.
1. Configure a peer group that does not initiate TCP connections with other peers.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
neighbor peer-group-name peer-group passive limit
Enter the
limit
keyword to restrict the number of sessions accepted.
2. Assign a subnet to the peer group.
