Setting the External Advertisement Timer
After a connection is established, the BGP speaker uses one or more update
messages to send the entire IP routing table (compliant with local BGP announce
policies). BGP, however, does not require the entire routing table to be sent again.
Therefore, the BGP speaker must keep a current version of the routing
information received from all its peers for as long as the connection to each peer is
valid. This information is updated by means of update messages whenever
changes occur.
By default, BGP examines the routing table for changes every 30 seconds. If a
change has occurred, BGP issues an update message on the connection.
You can use the BCC or Site Manager to specify a value for the external
advertisement timer.
Using the BCC
To specify a value for the external advertisement timer, go to a BGP peer prompt
(for example,
box; ip; /jointfilesconvert/97454/bgp; peer/2.2.2.2/2.2.2.3
) and enter:
advertise-time
<

seconds
is an integer (from 1 through 2,147,483,647) specifying the minimum
interval at which BGP examines the routing table for changes before issuing an
update message on this peer session.
