neighbor fall-over

Syntax

neighbor {<IP-ADDRESS>|<PEER-GROUP-NAME>} fall-over

no neighbor {<IP-ADDRESS>|<PEER-GROUP-NAME>} fall-over

Description

This command enables BGP fast peering session deactivation. When neighbor fall-over is configured, the BGP process monitors the RIB and if the route to peer is not present in the routing table, it will immediately deactivate the peer session without waiting for the hold down timer. It is disabled by default.

The no form of this command disables this function.

Command context

config-bgp

Parameters

<IP-ADDRESS>

Specifies an IP address.

<PEER-GROUP-NAME>

Specifies a peer group.

Authority

Administrators

Usage

Neighbor fall-over does not track connected or static routes to peers, however this is not an issue when IBGP peering is using a loopback interface. To force a fall-over for connected and static routes, use the command neighbor fall-over bfd.

Examples

switch(config-bgp)# neighbor 1.1.1.1 fall-over
switch(config-bgp)# no neighbor 1.1.1.1 fall-over
switch(config-bgp)# neighbor PG fall-over
switch(config-bgp)# no neighbor PG fall-over
