Usage Information
This command enables soft-reconguration for the BGP neighbor specied. BGP stores all the updates the
neighbor receives but does not reset the peer-session.
You cannot set this conguration for a peer that is associated with a peer group. Similarly, you cannot associate a
peer to a peer group if that peer is already congured with these settings.
CAUTION: Inbound update storage is a memory-intensive operation. The entire BGP update database
from the neighbor is stored in memory regardless of the inbound policy results applied on the neighbor.
NOTE: This command is supported in BGP Router Conguration mode for IPv4 Unicast address
only.
