BGP and BGP4+ Commands
| bgp |
| Use this command to enable nexthop address tracking. If nexthop address tracking is |
| enabled and a nexthop trigger delay interval has not been explicitly set with the bgp |
| |
| interval of 5 seconds is used. |
| Use the no variant of this command to disable this feature. |
Syntax [BGP/BGP4+] | bgp |
| no bgp |
Default [BGP/BGP4+] | Disabled. |
Mode [BGP/BGP4+] | Global Configuration |
Usage [BGP/BGP4+] | Nexthop address tracking is an event driven notification system that monitors the status |
| of routes installed in the Routing Information Base (RIB) and reports nexthop changes that |
| affect internal BGP (iBGP) or external BGP (eBGP) prefixes directly to the BGP process. This |
| improves the overall BGP convergence time, by allowing BGP to respond rapidly to |
| nexthop changes for routes installed in the RIB. |
| If nexthop tracking is enabled after certain routes are learnt, the registration of all the |
| nexthops of selected BGP routes are done immediately after the nexthop tracking feature |
| is enabled. |
| If nexthop tracking is disabled, and if there are still some selected BGP routes, BGP |
| deregisters the nexthops of all of the selected BGP routes from the system. |
| If nexthop tracking is disabled when nexthop tracking is in the process of execution, an |
| error appears, and nexthop tracking is not disabled. However, if the nexthop tracking |
| timer is running at the time of negation, the nexthop tracking timer is stopped, and |
| nexthop tracking is disabled. |
Example | To enable nexthop address tracking, enter the command: |
[BGP/BGP4+] | awplus# configure terminal |
| |
| awplus(config)# bgp |
