Command
History
Version 9.0(1.3) Introduced on the S5000.
Usage
Information
Timer values configured with the neighbor timers command overrides the
timer values configured with the any other command.
When two neighbors, configured with different keepalive and holdtime values,
negotiate for new values, the resulting values are as follows:
• the lower of the holdtime values is the new holdtime value, and
• whichever is the lower value; one-third of the new holdtime value, or the
configured
keepalive value, is the new keepalive value.
neighbor update-source
Enable the S5000 software to use Loopback interfaces for TCP connections for BGP sessions.

} update-source interface command.
Parameters
ip-address Enter the IP address of the peer router in dotted decimal
format.
