configure bgp restart restart-time
configure bgp restart restart-time <seconds>
Description
Configures the restart time used with graceful BGP restart. This is the maximum time a receiver router
will wait for a restarting router to come back up.
Syntax Description
Default
The default is 120 seconds
Usage Guidelines
This command configures the restart timer. This timer is started on the receiver router when it detects
the neighbor router is restarting (usually when the peer TCP session is reset). At that time, routes from
the restarting router are marked as stale, but are preserved in the routing table. The timer is stopped
when the restarting BGP neighbor goes to the ESTABLISHED state (it has finished restarting). If the
timer expires, the stale routes are deleted.
Example
The following command configures the graceful BGP restart timer:
configure bgp restart restart-time 200
