The set protocols bgp update-delay delay command enable read-only mode by setting the max-delay timer.
Command Syntax
set protocols bgp [vrf <vrf-name>] update-delay delay <max-delay-timer>
delete protocols bgp [vrf <vrf-name> update-delay delay
Parameter
Parameter | Description |
vrf <vrf-name> | Optional. Specifies a VRF name. The value is a string. It’s a user-defined VRF set by the command set ip vrf <vrf-name> [description <string>]. |
delay <max-delay-timer> | Specifies a delay timer. The value is an integer, in second, that ranges from 0 to 3600. The default time for this is 0 seconds, which disables read-only mode. |
Usage Guidelines
To enable read-only mode, you set the max-delay timer and, optionally, the establish-wait timer. Read-only mode begins as soon as the first peer reaches its established state and the max-delay timer starts, and continues until either of the following two conditions are met:
- All the configured peers (except the shutdown peers) have sent an explicit EOR (End-Of-RIB) or an implicit EOR. The first keep-alive after BGP reaches the established state is considered an implicit EOR. If you specify the establish-wait option, BGP only considers peers that have reached the established state from the moment the max-delay timer starts until the establish-wait period ends. The minimum set of established peers for which EOR is expected are the peers that are established during the establish-wait window, not necessarily all the configured neighbors.
- The timer reaches the configured max-delay.
Example
• The following example commands enable read-only mode by setting the max-delay timer to 300 seconds.
