User Manual UMN:CLIV5812G39910.1.5.9 Updates for Inbound Soft ReconfigurationSoft-reconfiguration may be used in lieu of BGP route refresh capability. The V5812G canstore updates for inbound soft reconfiguration. When a soft reset (inbound) is done onthis neighbor, the locally stored routes are reprocessed according to the inbound policy.To enable/disable local storage of all the received routes and their attributes, use thefollowing command.Command Mode Descriptionneighbor {A.B.C.D | WORD} soft-reconfiguration inbound RouterEnables the local storage of updates.A.B.C.D: BGP neighbor IP addressWORD: neighbor tagno neighbor {A.B.C.D | WORD}soft-reconfiguration inbound Disables the local storage of updates.10.1.6 BGP TimersBGP keepalive timer indicates that the frequency with which the keepalive messages aresent to the neighbors. And holdtime is the interval which the neighbor is considered deadif keepalive messages are not received.To set the BGP keepalive and holdtime timer values for all the neighbors, use thefollowing command.Command Mode Descriptiontimers bgp <0-65535> <0-65535> RouterConfigures the period of finding in the unit of second.0-65535: keepalive timer value (default: 60 seconds)0-65535: holdtime value (default: 180 seconds)To reset the values, use the following command.Command Mode Descriptionno timers bgp Router Resets timers to default value.10.1.7 Route Flap DampeningThe route dampening minimizes the instability caused by route flapping. A penalty isadded for every flap in a flapping route. As soon as the total penalty reaches the―suppress‖ limit the advertisement of the route is suppressed. This penalty is decayedaccording to the configured ―half time‖ value. Once the penalty is lower than the ―reuse‖limit, the route advertisement is un-suppressed.To enable the route-flap dampening, use the following command.Command Mode Descriptionbgp dampening Router Enables the route-flap dampening.
