Reference Guide

– neighbor-address: Clears the neighbor with this IP address.
– AS Numbers: Peers’ AS numbers to be cleared.
– ipv4: Clears information for the IPv4 address family.
– peer-group-name: Clears all members of the specified peer group.
• Enable soft-reconfiguration for the BGP neighbor specified.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} soft-reconfiguration inbound
BGP stores all the updates received by the neighbor but does not reset the peer-session.
Entering this command starts the storage of updates, which is required to do inbound soft reconfiguration. Outbound
BGP soft reconfiguration does not require inbound soft reconfiguration to be enabled.
The example enables inbound soft reconfiguration for the neighbor 10.108.1.1. All updates received from this neighbor
are stored unmodified, regardless of the inbound policy. When inbound soft reconfiguration is done later, the stored
information is used to generate a new set of inbound updates.
Example of Soft-Reconfigration of a BGP Neighbor
FTOS>router bgp 100
neighbor 10.108.1.1 remote-as 200
neighbor 10.108.1.1 soft-reconfiguration inbound
Route Map Continue
The BGP route map continue feature, continue [sequence-number], (in ROUTE-MAP mode) allows movement
from one route-map entry to a specific route-map entry (the sequence number).
If you do not specify a sequence number, the continue feature moves to the next sequence number (also known as an
“implied continue”). If a match clause exists, the continue feature executes only after a successful match occurs. If
there are no successful matches, continue is ignored.
Match a Clause with a Continue Clause
The continue feature can exist without a match clause.
Without a match clause, the continue clause executes and jumps to the specified route-map entry. With a match clause
and a continue clause, the match clause executes first and the continue clause next in a specified route map entry. The
continue clause launches only after a successful match. The behavior is:
• A successful match with a continue clause—the route map executes the set clauses and then goes to the
specified route map entry after execution of the continue clause.
• If the next route map entry contains a continue clause, the route map executes the continue clause if a
successful match occurs.
• If the next route map entry does not contain a continue clause, the route map evaluates normally. If a match
does not occur, the route map does not continue and falls-through to the next sequence number, if one exists
Set a Clause with a Continue Clause
If the route-map entry contains sets with the continue clause, the set actions operation is performed first followed by the
continue clause jump to the specified route map entry.
• If a set actions operation occurs in the first route map entry and then the same set action occurs with a different
value in a subsequent route map entry, the last set of actions overrides the previous set of actions with the same
set command.
• If the set community additive and set as-path prepend commands are configured, the
communities and AS numbers are prepended.
