Global-Read-Only-Timer

Time in seconds that the device remains in read-only mode after being started. As long as the device is in read-only mode, it receives routes from BGP neighbors but does not perform the "shortest-path algorithm" for route computation. This means that it does not send routes to BGP neighbors. This switch is used to optimize the performance of central-site devices where many routes are possible. This means that the device only performs a route computation once it has received all of the possible routes.
