Use this command in Peer Template Configuration mode to add it to a peer template to configure a connection retry interval. If a neighbor does not respond to an initial TCP connection attempt, LCOS SX retries three times. The first retry is after the retry interval configured with the neighbor connect-retry-interval (BGP Router Config) command. Each subsequent retry doubles the previous retry interval. So by default, the TCP connection is retried after 2, 4, and 8 seconds. If none of the retries is successful, the adjacency is reset to the IDLE state and the IDLE hold timer is started. BGP skips the retries and transitions to IDLE state if TCP returns an error, such as destination unreachable, on a connection attempt.
