Disables BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) fast external fallover functionality.
This command has no arguments or variables.
Disabled.
This command disables the BGP fast external fallover on the router. This command applies to all directly-connected external BGP neighbors.
When BGP fast external fallover is enabled, the directly-connected EBGP neighbor session is immediately reset when the connecting link goes down.
If BGP fast external fallover is disabled, BGP waits until the default hold timer expires (3 keepalives) to reset the neighboring session. In addition, BGP might teardown the session somewhat earlier than hold timer expiry if BGP detects that the TCP session and it's directly connected link is broken (BGP detects this while sending or receiving data from TCP socket).
The following command disables BGP fast external fallover:
disable bgp fast-external-fallover
