Setting the session retry timer
About setting the session retry timer
To speed up session establishment to a peer or peer group, set a small session retry timer. If the BGP session flaps, you can set a large session retry timer to reduce the impact and speed up route convergence.
Restrictions and guidelines
The timer set by the peer timer connect-retry command takes precedence over the timer set by the timer connect-retry command.
