Edge-Core AS5700-54X - Neighbor Strict-Capability-Match

Chapter 29 | IP Routing Commands
Border Gateway Protocol (BGPv4)
– 972 –
◆ To use soft reconfiguration, without preconfiguration, both BGP neighbors
must support the soft route refresh capability advertised in open messages
sent when a BGP session is established. To see if a BGP router supports this
capability, use the show ip bgp neighbors command.
Example
Console(config-router)#neighbor 11.1.1.120 soft-reconfiguration inbound
Console(config-router)#
neighbor strict-
capability-match
This command forces strict capability matching when establishing connections.
Use the no form to disable this requirement.
Syntax
[no] neighbor {ip-address | group-name} strict-capability-match
ip-address – IP address of a neighbor.
group-name – A BGP peer group containing a list of neighboring routers
configured with the neighbor peer-group command.
Command Mode
Router Configuration
Default Setting
Disabled
Command Usage
This command specifies that a connection can only be established when the both
sides have perfectly matching capabilities.
Example
Console(config-router)#neighbor 10.1.1.66 strict-capability-match
Console(config-router)#
neighbor timers This command sets the Keep Alive time and Hold time used for specified neighbors.
Use the no form to restore the default settings.
Syntax
[no] neighbor {ip-address | group-name} timers keepalive-time hold-time
ip-address – IP address of a neighbor.
group-name – A BGP peer group containing a list of neighboring routers
configured with the neighbor peer-group command.
keepalive-time – The frequency at which the local router sends keep-alive
messages to its neighbors. (Range: 0-65535 seconds)
