ignored. For efficiency, some networks have external routers announce a default
route to avoid sending large EGP update packets.
exportdefault
Enables GateD to include the default route (0.0.0.0) in EGP updates sent to this
EGP neighbor. This allows the system to advertise the default route via EGP. Nor-
mally a default route is not included in EGP updates.
gateway gateway
If a network is not shared with a neighbor, gateway specifies a router on an
attached network to be used as the next hop router for routes received from this
neighbor. This option is only rarely used.
lcladdr local_address
Specifies the address to be used on the local end of the connection with the neigh-
bor. The local address must be on an interface which is shared with the neighbor or
with the gateway of the neighbor when the gateway parameter is used. A session
will only be opened when an interface with the appropriate local address (through
which the neighbor or gateway address is directly reachable) is operating.
sourcenet network
Specifies the network queried in the EGP Poll packets. By default this is the net-
work shared with neighbors address specified. If there is no network shared with
the neighbor, one of the network the neighbor is attached to should be specified.
This parameter can also be used to specify a network shared with the neighbor
other than the one on which the EGP packets are sent. This parameter is normally
not needed.
p1 time
minhello time
Sets the minimum acceptable interval between the transmission of EGP HELLO
packets. The default hello interval is 30 seconds. If the neighbor fails to respond to
three hello packets, GateD stops trying to acquire the neighbor. Setting a larger
interval gives the neighbor a better chance to respond. Minhello is an alias for the
P1 value defined in the EGP specification.
p2 time
minpoll time
Sets the time interval between polls to the neighbor. The default is 120 seconds. If
three polls are sent without a response, the neighbor is declared "down" and all
routes learned from that neighbor are removed from the routing database. A longer
polling interval supports a more stable routing database but is not as responsive to
routing changes. Minpoll is an alias for the P2 value defined in the EGP
specification.
ttl ttl
By default, GateD sets the IP TTL for local neighbors to one and the TTL for nonlo-
cal neighbors to 255. This option is provided when attempting to communicate with
improperly functioning routers that ignore packets sent with a TTL of one.
traceoptions trace_options
Specifies the tracing options for this EGP neighbor. By default these are inherited
from group or EGP global trace options. (See Trace Statements and the EGP specific
tracing options below.)
Tracing options
The state and policy options work with EGP.
Packet tracing options (which may be modified with detail, send and recv):
packets
All EGP packets
hello
EGP HELLO/I-HEARD-U packets which are used to determine neighbor reachability.
acquire
EGP ACQUIRE/CEASE packets which are used to initiate and terminate EGP sessions.
