NOTE:

In general, the maximum time allowed for the peer (the GR restarter) to reestablish a BGP session should
be less than the Holdtime carried in the Open message.

The End-Of-RIB (End of Routing-Information-Base) indicates the end of route updates.

Enabling Trap

After Trap is enabled for BGP, BGP generates Level-4 traps to report important events. The generated
traps are sent to the information center of the router. The output rules of the traps (whether to output the

traps and the output direction) are determined according to the information center configuration. (For

information center configuration, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.)
To enable Trap:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enable Trap for BGP.

snmp-agent trap enable bgp

Optional
Enabled by default

Enabling logging of peer state changes

To enable the logging of peer state changes:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter BGP view.

bgp as-number N/A

3.

Enable the logging of peer
state changes globally.

log-peer-change

Optional
Enabled by default

4.

Enable the logging of peer
state changes for a peer or

peer group.

peer { group-name | ip-address }
log-change

Optional
Enabled by default

Configuring BFD for BGP

BGP maintains neighbor relationships based on the keepalive timer and holdtime timer, which are set in

seconds. BGP defines that the holdtime interval must be at least three times the keepalive interval. This

mechanism makes link failure detection rather slow; once a failure occurs on a high-speed link, a large

quantity of packets will be dropped. BFD is introduced to solve this problem. It detects links between

neighbors quickly to reduce convergence time upon link failures.
To enable BFD for a BGP peer:
