None.
BGP Router Configuration.
When BGP is restarting, the value configured for this defer timer is the upper bound (in seconds) on the amount of time route selection will be deferred. The value specified should be large enough to provide all peers with enough time to send all their routes. The value must be greater than or equal to the restart timeout setting.
Graceful restart must be enabled for the defer timer setting to be relevant.
The no bgp restart-defer command resets the defer timer value to the default value of 120 seconds.
The following example configures the defer timer to 150 seconds:
System(su-config)->router bgp 65151 System(su-config-bgp)->bgp router-id 151.1.1.9 System(su-config-bgp)->bgp restart-defer 150 System(su-config-bgp)->
