7.1. Force10 10GE Specifics
Force10 E-Series switch/routers support no bgp fast-external-fallover, BGP Graceful Restart, and a link debounce timer to maintain BGP stability during topology switchovers.
The recommended option is to use the link debounce command to delay link change notifications on the interface. The default for fiber interfaces is 100 ms, which is a good value to use.
