timer connect-retry

Use timer connect-retry to set the session retry timer for all peers and peer groups.

Use undo timer connect-retry to restore the default.

Syntax

timer connect-retry retry-time

undo timer connect-retry

Default

The session retry timer is 32 seconds for all peers and peer groups.

BGP instance view

BGP-VPN instance view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

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 all peers.

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