For those in multivendor environments, it's worth also being aware that since 7.6R1 JunOS sets the minimum BGP hold timer to 20 seconds. If I were creating a standard timer config to deploy consistently on customer peers (and needed something on the fast side in timer terms) I would need to take that into account.
(And yes, there is of course a way to override the 20s hold timer, but it's not a supported config last time I checked) j. ________________________________________ From: Andree Toonk [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 25, 2009 2:33 PM To: Chris Caputo Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: IXP BGP timers (was: Multi-homed clients and BGP timers) Hi Chris, .-- My secret spy satellite informs me that at Mon, 25 May 2009, Chris Caputo wrote: > Would going below 60-180 without first discussing it with your peers, tend > to piss them off? 60-180 is fairly conservative. 60-180 is the Cisco default I believe, however Junipers defaults are 30-90. I never pissed anyone off with that ;) Cheers, Andree
