NOTE: The :: notation specifies successive hexadecimal fields of zeros.
peer-group-name Enter the name of the peer group.
ttl (OPTIONAL) Enter the number of hops as the time to live (ttl) value. The range is 1 to
255. The default is 255.
Defaults Disabled.

peer. Networks not directly connected are not considered valid for best path selection.
neighbor fall-over
Enable or disable fast fall-over for BGP neighbors.
C9000 Series
Syntax
neighbor {ipv6-address | peer-group-name} fall-over
To disable, use the no neighbor {ipv6-address | peer-group-name} fall-over command.
Parameters
ipv6-address Enter the IPv6 address in the x:x:x:x::x format.

8.2.1.0 Introduced on the E-Series ExaScale.
7.4.1.0 Introduced
Usage Information When you enable fall-over, BGP keeps track of IP or IPv6 reachability to the peer remote address and the peer
local address. Whenever either address becomes unreachable (for example, no active route exists in the routing
table for peer IP or IPv6 destination/local address), BGP brings down the session with the peer.
