By default, the BGP process attempts to connect to a peer after a failure (or on startup) every 10 seconds. You can change this value to suit your needs.
The set protocols bgp neighbor timers connect command sets the reconnect value.
The delete protocols bgp neighbor timers connect command removes the configurations.
