Description | The article describes why 'keep-alive-timer', 'holdtime-timer', 'connect-timer' and 'Weight' show a Default value of 4294967295 in the BGP Neighbor configuration. |
Scope | FortiGate. |
Solution |
By design, the BGP Neighbour configuration shows the default 32bit value 4294967295. This is the maximum 32bit value calculated as [(2^32)-1].
The Routing Module's Internal default value will be used in place of the 4294967295 default value. The large value displayed is not really used in the routing module.
For FortiOS v7.0.3 and Earlier Versions:
# config router bgp set keepalive-timer 60 set holdtime-timer 180 config neighbor edit "10.10.10.10" set keep-alive-timer 4294967295 set holdtime-timer 4294967295 set connect-timer 4294967295 set weight 4294967295 next end
FGT (10.10.10.10) # set keep-alive-timer keep-alive-timer <----- Enter an integer value from <0> to <65535> (default = <4294967295>).
FGT (10.10.10.10) # set holdtime-timer holdtime-timer <----- Enter an integer value from <3> to <65535> or (special = <0>) (default = <4294967295>).
FGT (10.10.10.10) # set connect-timer connect-timer <----- Enter an integer value from <0> to <65535> (default = <4294967295>).
FGT (10.10.10.10) # set weight weight <----- Enter an integer value from <0> to <65535> (default = <4294967295>).
For FortiOS v7.0.4, v7.2.0 and Later Versions:
As per the FortiOS design, the BGP neighbour 'show full-configuration' displays the default value as 4294967295, however, CLI help/hint/reference description displays the correct default values for respective BGP weight attribute or other timers.
# config router bgp set keepalive-timer 60 set holdtime-timer 180 config neighbor edit "10.10.10.10" set keep-alive-timer 4294967295 set holdtime-timer 4294967295 set connect-timer 4294967295 set weight 4294967295 next end
FGT (10.10.10.10) # set holdtime-timer holdtime-timer <----- Enter an integer value from <3> to <65535> or (special = <0>) (default: <Global BGP value>).
FGT (10.10.10.10) # set keep-alive-timer keep-alive-timer <----- Enter an integer value from <0> to <65535> (default: <Global BGP value>).
FGT (10.10.10.10) # set connect-timer connect-timer <----- Enter an integer value from <0> to <65535> (default: <120>).
FGT (10.10.10.10) # set weight weight <----- Enter an integer value from <0> to <65535> (default: <0>). |
