polling bgp-status unknown-threshold

Sets a threshold for number of times a status check of a BGP peering can fail before the service provider access link is declared down.

polling bgp-status unknown-threshold <num>
 
no polling bgp-status unknown-threshold
 

• num--number of times status check can fail before status is declared unknown (range: 1 through 100)

You must be in link configuration mode (config-engine-link), which requires privileged-level access.

Once for each link.

If the polling bgp-status on and require-bgp-snmp-poll commands are both enabled, the value set by the polling bgp-status unknown-threshold command determines how many times the CNA link monitor process must report the peering as unknown before the link is considered to be unreliable.

This provides a buffer against prematurely declaring the link to be down as a result of transient, non-fatal SNMP errors.

See Link Outage Control in Chapter 3: Adaptive Path Control of the CNA Adaptive Path Controller Guide for more information.

Use the no form of the command to reset the number argument to the default.
