Router Configuration Guide 575
The hold-time-up parameter allows the operator to delay programming of the PBR to the most-
preferred destination for a specified amount of time when the first destination comes up (action
forward remains in place). When the first destination comes up, the timer is started and upon the
expiry, the current most-preferred destination is selected (which may differ from the one that triggered
the timer to start) and programmed as a sticky PBR destination. Changing the value of the timer, while
the timer is running takes immediate effect.
The no form of the command disables sticky destination behavior.
Default no sticky-dest
Parameters hold-time-up — Initial delay in seconds.
