peer low-memory-exempt

Use peer low-memory-exempt to configure BGP to protect EBGP peers or peer groups when the memory usage reaches level 2 threshold.

Use undo peer low-memory-exempt to remove the configuration.

Syntax

peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] | ipv6-address [ prefix-length ] } low-memory-exempt

undo peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] | ipv6-address [ prefix-length ] } low-memory-exempt

Default

When the memory usage reaches level 2 threshold, BGP tears down an EBGP session to release memory resources periodically.

Parameters

group-name: Specifies a peer group by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 47 characters. The peer group must have been created.

ipv4-address: Specifies a peer by its IPv4 address. The peer must have been created.

mask-length: Specifies a mask length in the range of 0 to 32. You can use the ipv4-address and mask-length arguments together to specify a subnet. If you specify a subnet in this command, BGP protects all dynamic peers in the subnet when the memory usage reaches level 2 threshold.

ipv6-address: Specifies a peer by its IPv6 address. The peer must have been created.

prefix-length: Specifies a prefix length in the range of 0 to 128. You can use the ipv6-address and prefix-length arguments together to specify a subnet. If you specify a subnet in this command, BGP protects all dynamic peers in the subnet when the memory usage reaches level 2 threshold.

Usage guidelines

When level 2 memory usage threshold is reached, BGP tears down an EBGP session to release memory resources periodically until the memory usage is exempt from level 2 threshold. You can use this command to avoid tearing down the BGP session to an EBGP peer when memory usage reaches level 2 threshold. For more information about thresholds, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Examples

# In BGP instance view, configure BGP to protect EBGP peer 1.1.1.1 when the memory usage reaches level 2 threshold.
