Conguring Passive Peering
When you enable a peer-group, the software sends an OPEN message to initiate a TCP connection.
If you enable passive peering for the peer group, the software does not send an OPEN message, but it responds to an OPEN message.
When a BGP neighbor connection with authentication congured is rejected by a passive peer-group, Dell EMC Networking OS does not
allow another passive peer-group on the same subnet to connect with the BGP neighbor. To work around this, change the BGP
conguration or change the order of the peer group conguration.
You can constrain the number of passive sessions accepted by the neighbor. The limit keyword allows you to set the total number of
sessions the neighbor will accept, between 2 and 265. The default is 256 sessions.
1 Congure a peer group that does not initiate TCP connections with other peers.
