peer timer connect-retry

Use peer timer connect-retry to set the session retry timer for a peer or peer group.

Use undo peer timer connect-retry to remove the configuration.

Syntax

peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] | ipv6-address [ prefix-length ] } timer connect-retry retry-time

undo peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] | ipv6-address [ prefix-length ] } timer connect-retry

Default

The session retry timer is 32 seconds a peer or peer group.

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, this command sets a connection retry timer for all dynamic peers in the subnet.

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, this command sets a connection retry timer for all dynamic peers in the subnet.

retry-time: Specifies a session retry timer in the range of 1 to 65535 seconds.

Usage guidelines

To speed up session establishment to a peer or peer group and route convergence, set a small session retry timer. If the BGP session flaps, you can set a large session retry timer to reduce the impact.

The timer set by the peer timer connect-retry command takes precedence over the timer set by the timer connect-retry command.

Examples

# In BGP instance view, set the session retry timer to 30 seconds for peer 1.1.1.1.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] bgp 100
[Sysname-bgp-default] peer 1.1.1.1 timer connect-retry 30
