Active Neighbor

A routing daemon can declare another routing daemon as its neighbor, and actively initiate a connection to it. If the connection is broken, the routing daemon actively attempts to restore it.

Consider an example situation in which a routing daemons link several networks within an enterprise. Each routing daemon within the enterprise declares every other routing daemon as an active neighbor.

To specify an active neighbor, you must supply this information:

Remote Router Name
Remote Host
Remote Connect Port
Local Connect Port
