To be honest with you Gaurav, the answer to this question didn't exactly pop
right to the forefront of my mind. But it did occur to me to make one
polite suggestion that you may wish to consider:

See if you can find a way to answer your own question via debug. When I was
preparing for the lab, I was loathe to ask anybody for an answer until I
just wasn't able to see the issue clearly anymore, for having stared at it
far too long. Come lab day, your proctor may or may not clarify task
language, but you'll certainly be on your own to assuage doubts about these
such things. Also, if your lab is some months away from now, you may recall
having asked such a question, but under duress you're unlikely to recall any
of the answers given (or worse - you'll recall the wrong one!). On the
other hand, if you went to the effort to resolve it on your own, you are
more likely to be able to visualize the debug that answered your own
question. Just a thought you may wish to consider...

Best,

Scott

Subject: BGP : advertisement-interval

Hi Group

BGP advertisement interval CLI :

To set the minimum interval between the sending of BGP routing
updates, use the neighbor advertisement-interval command in address
family or router configuration mode.

Now it is 30 sec for external peer and 5 for internal peer ..

My question is :

if I say

neighbor <10.4.4.4> advertisement-interval 60

60 is interval for EBGP peer and 10 for IBGP peer
or
60 is interval for IBGP peer and 360 for EBGP peer

Documentation is not clear .. hence the question

Thnx
Gaurav Madan
