Enabling immediate re-establishment of direct EBGP connections upon link failure
When the link to a directly connected EBGP peer goes down, the router does not re-establish a session to the peer until the hold time timer expires. This feature enables BGP to immediately recreate the session in that situation. When this feature is disabled, route flapping does not affect EBGP session state.
To enable immediate re-establishment of direct EBGP connections:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter BGP instance view. | bgp as-number [ instance instance-name ] | N/A |
3. Enable immediate re-establishment of direct EBGP connections upon link failure. | ebgp-interface-sensitive | By default, immediate re-establishment of direct EBGP connections is enabled. |
