Choosing the Poll Mode
The type of neighbor reachability algorithm executed by the local EGP neighbor
is called the poll mode. There are two poll modes: active and passive. In the active
mode, a router sends hello and poll messages to request reachability status from
its neighbor. In the passive mode, a router responds to hello and poll messages
with I-H-U and update messages.
By default, EGP is configured to execute both the active and passive poll mode.
You can use Site Manager to execute the active or passive mode only.
