Usage
Information
To prevent loops, the neighbor ebgp-multihop command does not install default routes of the
multihop 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.
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.
NOTE: The :: notation specifies successive hexadecimal fields of zeros.
peer-group-name

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 examle, no active route exists in
the routing table for peer IP or IPv6 destination/local address), BGP brings down the session with the
peer.
