neighbor soft-reconfiguration inbound (BGP and
BGP4+)
Use this command to configure the switch to start storing all updates from the BGP or
BGP4+ neighbor, without any consideration of any inward route filtering policy that might
be applied to the connection with this BGP or BGP4+ neighbor. This is so that the full set of
the neighbor’s updates are available locally to be used in a soft-reconfiguration event.
You may need to apply this older method of clearing routes if the peer does not support
route refresh.
Use the no variant of this command to disable this function for a BGP or BGP4+ neighbor.
Syntax [BGP/BGP4+] neighbor <neighborid> soft-reconfiguration inbound
no neighbor <neighborid> soft-reconfiguration inbound
Mode [BGP]
Router Configuration or IPv4 Address Family Configuration for a VRF instance
Mode [BGP4+] IPv6 Address Family Configuration
Usage [BGP/BGP4+] Use this command to store updates for inbound soft reconfiguration. Soft-reconfiguration
may be used in lieu of BGP route refresh capability. Using this command enables local
storage of all the received routes and their attributes. This requires additional memory.
When a soft reset (inbound) is done on this neighbor, the locally stored routes are re-
processed according to the inbound policy. The BGP neighbor connection is not affected.
Parameter Description
<neighborid>{<ip-address>|<ipv6-addr>|<peer-group>}
<ip-address> Specify the address of an IPv4 BGP neighbor, in
dotted decimal notation A.B.C.D.
<ipv6-addr> Specify the address of an IPv6 BGP4+ neighbor,
entered in hexadecimal in the format X:X::X:X.
<peer-group> Enter the name of an existing peer-group. For
information on how to create peer groups, refer
to the neighbor peer-group (add a neighbor)
(BGP and BGP+) command on page 3.144, and
neighbor route-map (BGP and BGP4+)
command on page 3.159. When this parameter
is used with this command, the command
applies on all peers in the specified group.
