enable bgp backoff

Syntax ENAble BGP BACkoff

Description This new command allows BGP backoff. BGP backoff delays BGP processing when the system memory utilisation is high.

BGP backoff is disabled by default, however it automatically enables the first time a peer is added.

Example To enable BGP backoff, use the command:

ena bgp bac

set bgp backoff

Syntax SET BGP BACkoff[=20..100] [BASEtime=0..100] [CONSecutive=0..1000] [LOW=15..99] [MULtiplier=1..1000] [STep=1..1000] [TOTallimit=0..1000]

Parameter	Description
BACkoff	The percentage of total system memory use that triggers BGP to back
	off, from 20 to 100. This must be set higher than the low parameter.
	Default: 95
LOW	The percentage of total system memory use that the router or switch
	must fall below before BGP backoff will end, from 15 to 99. This must
	be set lower than the backoff parameter.
	Default: 90

Example To back BGP processing off when the system memory is 90% utilised, and

reinstate it when system memory is at 80%, use the command:

set bgp bac=90 low=80
