Syntax

no bgp restart-time time-seconds

Parameters

time-seconds Specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds this router will wait for a gracefully restarting peer to come back up. Valid values are 1 - 3600 seconds. Default value is 120 seconds.

Defaults

None.

Mode

BGP Router Configuration.

Usage

The bgp restart?time command configures the maximum time (in seconds) to wait for a graceful restart capable peer to come back after a restart. This value will be used instead of the restart timeout value advertised by the peer in its OPEN message, if the OPEN message value exceeds this restart timer value

Graceful restart must be enabled for the restart timer setting to be relevant.

The no bgp restart-time command resets the restart timer value to the default value of 120 seconds.

Example

The following example configures the restart time to be 100 seconds:

System(su-config)->router bgp 65151
System(su-config-bgp)->bgp router-id 159.1.1.9
System(su-config-bgp)->bgp restart-time 100
System(su-config-bgp)->
