Before you can enter this command, you must disable BGP services on the switch with the disable bgp command.
This command configures the stale route timer. This timer is started when the restarting BGP peer goes to the ESTABLISHED state after it restarts. The timer is stopped when the restarting BGP peer sends EOR messages for all address families. When the timer is stopped, or it expires, the stale routes are deleted.
The following command configures the graceful BGP stale route timer:
configure bgp restart stale-route-time 400
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 11.4.
This command is available on platforms that support the appropriate license. For complete information about software licensing, including how to obtain and upgrade your license and which licenses support the BGP feature, see the Feature License Requirements document.
