Configuring The Interval For Sending Updates For The Same Route; Enabling Bgp To Establish An Ebgp Session Over Multiple Hops - HP 5500 EI series Configuration Manual

Configuring the interval for sending updates for the same route

A BGP router sends an update message to its peers when a route is changed. If the route changes
frequently, the BGP router keeps sending updates for the same route, resulting route flapping. To prevent
this situation, perform this task to configure the interval for sending updates for the same route to a peer
or peer group.
To configure the interval for sending the same update to a peer or peer group (IPv4):
Step
1. Enter system view.
Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN
2.
instance view.
3. Configure the interval for
sending updates for the same
route to a peer or peer group.
To configure the interval for sending the same update to a peer or peer group (IPv6):
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN
instance view.
3. Configure the interval for
sending updates for the same
route to a peer or peer group.

Enabling BGP to establish an EBGP session over multiple hops

To establish an EBGP connection, two routers must have a direct physical link. If no direct link is available,
you must use the peer ebgp-max-hop command to enable BGP to establish an EBGP session over
multiple hops and specify the maximum hops.
If directly connected EBGP peers use loopback interfaces to establish a BGP session, you do not need to
configure the peer ebgp-max-hop command.
To enable BGP to establish an indirect EBGP session (IPv4):
Step
1. Enter system view.
