This command sets the interval between the establishment of a TCP connection and the sending of an OPEN message to open a BGP session.
| ip-address | Specifies a BGP peer as a valid IPv4 address in dotted-quad format or as a valid IPv6 address in colon-separated format. |
| seconds | Specifies the interval, in seconds, between the establishment of a TCP connection and the sending of an OPEN message to open a BGP session. Valid values are 0 - 240 seconds. The default value is 0 seconds (no delay). |
None.
BGP Router Configuration.
The BGP OPEN message is used to open a BGP session, and is sent after the TCP handshake is completed. The delay set by this command allows the remote BGP peer time to send the first OPEN message.
Use the no neighbor open-delay command to reset the delay between the TCP handshake completion and the sending of the BGP OPEN message to the default value of 0 seconds (no delay).
The following example sets the delay between TCP handshake completion and the sending of the OPEN message to 3 seconds:
System(su-config)->router bgp 65151 System(su-config-bgp)->bgp router-id 159.1.1.9 System(su-config-bgp)->neighbor 9.1.2.1 open-delay 3 System(su-config-bgp)->
