Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
In a scenario in which primary and backup routes exist, packets may get lost after traffic switches back to the primary path from the backup path. To solve this problem, run the route-select delay command to configure a delay for selecting a route. An appropriate delay ensures that traffic switches back to the primary path after the device completes refreshing forwarding entries.
Precautions
If you run the route-select delay command repeatedly, the latest configuration overrides the previous configurations. If a route selection delay timer has started when you configure a new route select delay, the new route selection delay takes effect since the next route selection.
