Configuring a MinRouteAdvertisementIntervalTimer

A proper MinRouteAdvertisementIntervalTimer can be configured to suppress frequent route changes, improving BGP network stability.

Context

BGP peers use update messages to exchange routing information. Update messages can be used to advertise reachable routes with the same attributes or delete unreachable routes.

BGP does not periodically update a routing table. When BGP routes change, BGP updates the changed BGP routes in the BGP routing table by sending Update messages. If a route changes frequently, to prevent the router from sending Update messages upon every change, configure a MinRouteAdvertisementIntervalTimer at which Update messages are sent.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run bgp as-number

    The BGP view is displayed.

  3. Run peer { ipv4-address | group-name } route-update-interval interval

    A MinRouteAdvertisementIntervalTimer is configured.

    ipv4-address specifies the address of a specific peer, while group-name specifies the name of a peer group. The MinRouteAdvertisementIntervalTimer configured for a peer takes precedence over that configured for a peer group.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
