Do you know how fast this needs to be? The best answer is probably to just shorten your timers. Providers aren't running BFD with customers as far as I know. You should be able to set them to 10/30 , or 5/20. BGP timers are negotiated to the lowest value so even if your carrier doesn't like it they won't be able to stop you. This will also save you the trouble of opening a ticket or requesting that this be done. > > This is presumably an eBGP session across a local interface? > > Correct. > > > What platform & IOS version? > > 7206 routers running the 12.4T IOS train. > > Thanks. > > --Vincent > > > > Disclaimer: Any references to Pipeline performance contained herein are > based on internal testing and / or historic performance levels which > Pipeline expects to maintain or exceed but nevertheless does not guarantee. > Congested networks, price volatility, or other extraordinary events may > impede future trading activities and degrade performance statistics. > Pipeline is a member of FINRA and SIPC. > > _______________________________________________ > cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net > https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp > archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ > > _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
