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 view.	bgp as-number	N/A
3. Enable immediate re-establishment of direct EBGP connections upon link failure.	ebgp-interface-sensitive	By default, this feature is enabled.
