I have found that my lab tests take about the same length of time to swop
over to the back peer as yours do. If you come across any timers which
speed this process up, please let me know.

OT - I would configure R3 and R2 differently, I would have made R2 and R3
promiscuous or passive so that they did not always attempt to peer back to
R1. I'm not sure which way is best, perhaps someone can comment...?

regards

Subject: DLSW backup peer.

How long should it take for a peer to go into disconnect and a backup to
connect in a DLSW connection. I have one router R1 with R2 as its primary
peer and R3 as its backup peer. When I kill the link to the primary peer it

can take 1-2 mins to switch over to the backup peer and the same to switch
back when the primary peer is reachable again. Is this normal. Is there any

way to speed it up. The relevant parts of the configs are below.

Thanks, Stephen.
