BGP Configuration Commands

XSR CLI Reference Guide 6-103

Syntax of the “no” Form

The no form of this command returns to the command default:

no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} soft-reconfiguration inbound

Mode

Router configuration: 

XSR(config-router)#

Default

No soft reconfiguration is done.

Example

The following example configures soft reconfiguration on the router:

XSR(config)#router bgp 100
XSR(config-router)#neighbor 192.168.1.1 remote-as 101
XSR(config-router)#neighbor 192.168.1.1 soft-reconfiguration inbound

neighbor timers

This command changes the values of BGP timers for a peer or peer group.  When a session is 
started, BGP negotiates the hold‐time with the neighbor, selecting the smaller value. The keep‐
alive timer is then set based on the negotiated hold‐time and the configured keep‐alive interval. 
By default, the keep‐alive timer is set to 30 seconds and the hold‐time timer set to 90 seconds. This 
1 to 3 ratio is strictly maintained between the timers.

Syntax

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} timers keep-alive

Syntax of the “no” Form

The no form of this command returns to the command default:

no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} timers keep-alive

Default

Keep‐alive: 30 seconds

Note: Perform a clear ip bgp neighbor <IP address> whenever this command is changed.

The timers configured for a specific neighbor or peer group override the timers configured for all
BGP neighbors using the timers bgp command.

ip-address

Neighbor’s IP address.

peer-group-name

BGP peer group’s name, ranging from 1 to 64 characters.

keep-alive

Keep‐alive interval, ranging from 0 to 4,294,967,296 seconds. A keep‐
alive of zero indicates no keep‐alives are sent between neighbors so the 
peer session will not time out.
