The peer route-update-interval command sets the interval at which a device sends routing updates carrying the same prefix to a peer.
The undo peer route-update-interval command restores the default setting.
By default, the interval at which routing updates are sent to IBGP peers is 15s, and the interval at which routing updates are sent to EBGP peers is 30s.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| peerIpv6Addr |
Specifies the IPv6 address of a BGP peer. |
The value is a 32-digit hexadecimal number, in the format of X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X. |
| interval |
Specifies the minimum interval at which routing updates are sent. |
The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 600, in seconds. The value 0 indicates that the device immediately sends BGP Update messages to notify its peers of route changes. |
Usage Scenario
When routes change, the device sends routing updates to notify its peers. If a route changes frequently, the peer route-update-interval command can be used to adjust the interval at which Update packets are sent for changes of this route. This frees the device from sending Update packets for every route change.
Precautions
If a route is withdrawn, the device immediately sends an Update message to its peers, regardless of the peer route-update-interval configuration. If a route is added and the interval between the last route addition time and the current route addition time is greater than the interval configured using the peer route-update-interval command, the device immediately sends an Update message to its peers. If a route is added and the interval between the last route addition time and the current route addition time is less than the interval configured using the peer route-update-interval command, the device sends an Update message to its peers only after the configured interval expires.
