SSR Command Line Interface Reference Manual 115
bgp set peer-host
external peer will only be opened when an interface with the appropriate local
address (through which the peer or gateway address is directly reachable). In either
case incoming connections will only be recognized as matching a configured peer if
they are addressed to the configured local address. For INTERNAL, IGP and
ROUTING, hosts use the group command to set the local-address. It should be one of
the interface addresses.
hold-time <num>
Specifies the hold time value to use when negotiating the connection with this peer, in
seconds. If BGP does not receive a keepalive, update, or notification message from a
peer within the period specified in the Hold Time field of the BGP Open message,
then the BGP connection will be closed. The value must be either 0 (no keepalives will
be sent) or at least 6.
version 2|3|4
Specifies the version of the BGP protocol to use with this peer. If not specified, only
the specified version will be offered. Specify 2, 3, or 4.
passive
Specifies that active OPENs to this peer should not be attempted. BGP would wait for
the peer to issue an OPEN. By default, all explicitly configured peers are active, they
periodically send OPEN messages until the peer responds. Note that if it is applied to
both sides of a peering session, it will prevent the session from ever being established.
send-buffer <num>
Controls the amount of send buffer acquired from the memory subsystem. The
maximum supported is 65535 bytes. By default, BGP acquires the maximum
supported. Specify a number from 4096 - 65535.
recv-buffer <num>
Controls the amount of receive buffer acquired from the memory subsystem. The
maximum supported is 65535 bytes. By default, BGP acquires the maximum
supported. Specify a number from 4096 – 65535.
in-delay <num>
Used to dampen route fluctuations. In delay specifies the amount of time in secs a
route learned from a BGP peer must be stable before it is accepted into the routing
database. The default value is 0, meaning that this feature is disabled. Specify a
number equal to or greater than 0.
out-delay <num>
Used to dampen route fluctuations. Out delay is the amount of time in secs a route
must be present in the routing table before it is exported to BGP. The default value is 0,
meaning that this feature is disabled. Specify a number equal to or greater than 0.
keep all|none
Used to retain routes learned from a peer even if the routes' AS paths contain one of
our exported AS numbers.
