I'm not sure what it is you're trying to accomplish so i'm guessing based on
what I think you are tring to do.
The keepalives should only be exchanged between neighbors so I would think
in your situation you would not want to specify a neighbor on the other end
of the ISDN. If you are using the ISDN in the event a serial interface goes
down I would use the "backup interface X" where X is your BRI or Dialer
interface. This would have the ISDN line shutdown until the primary link
failed. Then you could have BGP reroute across the ISDN.

Hope this helps.

Hi All,

I noticed BGP keepalives keeping up my ISDN DDR link.

How are you all solving this problem - by just raising the keepalive time
to something really high - like 1 day?

Can you turn off BGP keepalives?

Thanks,

Julie Ann
