Configuring the Connection Between Ingress and Egress Routers
The ingress router might make many attempts to connect and reconnect to the egress router using the primary path. You can control how often the ingress router tries to establish a connection using the primary path and how long it waits between retry attempts.
The retry timer configures how long the ingress router waits before trying to connect again to the egress router using the primary path. The default retry time is 30 seconds. The time can be from 1 through 600 seconds. To modify this value, include the retry-timer statement:
You can configure this statement at the following hierarchy levels:
- [edit protocols mpls label-switched-path lsp-name]
- [edit logical-systems logical-system-name protocols mpls label-switched-path lsp-name]
By default, no limit is set to the number of times an ingress router attempts to establish or reestablish a connection to the egress router using the primary path. To limit the number of attempts, include the retry-limit statement:
You can configure this statement at the following hierarchy levels:
- [edit protocols mpls label-switched-path lsp-name]
- [edit logical-systems logical-system-name protocols mpls label-switched-path lsp-name]
The limit can be a value up to 10,000. When the retry limit is exceeded, no more attempts are made to establish a path connection. At this point, intervention is required to restart the primary path.
If you set a retry limit, it is reset to 1 each time a successful primary path is created.
