Configuring the interval for sending updates for the same route
A BGP router sends an update message to its peers when a route is changed. If the route changes frequently, the BGP router keeps sending updates for the same route, resulting route flapping. To prevent this situation, perform this task to configure the interval for sending updates for the same route to a peer or peer group.
To configure the interval for sending the same update to a peer or peer group (IPv4):
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN instance view. |
| N/A |
3. Configure the interval for sending updates for the same route to a peer or peer group. | peer { group-name | ip-address [ mask-length ] } route-update-interval interval | By default, the interval is 15 seconds for an IBGP peer and 30 seconds for an EBGP peer. |
To configure the interval for sending the same update to a peer or peer group (IPv6):
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN instance view. |
| N/A |
3. Configure the interval for sending updates for the same route to a peer or peer group. | peer { group-name | ipv6-address [ prefix-length ] } route-update-interval interval | By default, the interval is 15 seconds for an IBGP peer and 30 seconds for an EBGP peer. |
