bgp fast-external-fallover


Enables and Disables BGP fast external fallover for this router.

Syntax: [no] bgp fast-external-fallover

Description: BGP fallover for external peers is triggered by a session flap. By default the timming of the fallover is based upon the receipt of an interface change notification when the flap takes place. It is not always desirable to trigger a fallover every time a session flaps. Disabling BGP fast external fallover changes the fallover trigger from the interface change notification to the value in seconds set by the BGP hold-timer using the neighbor timers command.

The bgp fast-external-fallover command in router configuration mode enables and disables BGP fast external fallover.

Use the bgp fast-external-fallover command to enable BGP fast external fallover.

Use the no bgp fast-external-fallover command to disable BGP fast external fallover.

Factory Default: Enabled.

Command Mode: Router Configuration.

Example 1: The following example disables BGP fast external fallover:

router#show running-config bgp

!

router bgp 300

 neighbor 10.200.93.51 remote-as 250

 neighbor 10.200.93.51 ebgp-multihop 3

router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)#router bgp 300

router(config-router)#no bgp fast-external-fallover

router(config-router)#end

router#show running-config bgp

!

router bgp 300

 no bgp fast-external-fallover

 neighbor 10.200.93.51 remote-as 250

 neighbor 10.200.93.51 ebgp-multihop 3

router#

Example 2: The following example re-enables BGP fast external fallover:

router#show running-config bgp

!

router bgp 300

 no bgp fast-external-fallover

 neighbor 10.200.93.51 remote-as 250

 neighbor 10.200.93.51 ebgp-multihop 3

router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)#router bgp 300

router(config-router)#bgp fast-external-fallover

router(config-router)#end

router#show running-config bgp

!

router bgp 300

 neighbor 10.200.93.51 remote-as 250

 neighbor 10.200.93.51 ebgp-multihop 3
