Initiating a Peer-to-Peer Session
A BGP speaker that wants to initiate a peer-to-peer connection periodically issues
an open message.
BGP speakers respond to connection requests by returning open messages. In
Figure 8-3
, for example, BGP speaker A sends an open message to BGP speaker
B to request a connection; BGP speaker B responds by sending an open message
to BGP speaker A.
Figure 8-3. Establishing and Confirming a Connection Between BGP
Peers
All BGP speakers respond to connection requests from other speakers.
By default, BGP attempts to initiate a connection on each interface configured for
peer-to-peer communications. If the attempt is unsuccessful, BGP retries every
120 seconds.
You can use the BCC or Site Manager to specify a retry interval or disable the
initiation function.
