timer retry

Function

The timer retry command sets the interval for retrying to set up a Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) peer relationship.

The undo timer retry command restores the default value.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The TCP connection needs to be set up between the MSDP peers. MSDP requires the peer with the larger IP address to listen at the port 639, and the peer with the smaller IP address to start a connection. If the connection fails, the peer restarts the connection after a period of time. Such a period of time is called interval retrying to set up an MSDP peer relationship.

Prerequisites

The multicast routing-enable command is run in the public network instance view or VPN instance view.

The status of the TCP connection between MSDP peers is Up.

Example

# In the public network instance, set the interval for retrying to set up an MSDP peer relationship to 60 seconds.
