Reference Guide

1 Enable soft-reconguration for the BGP neighbor and BGP template in ROUTER-BGP mode. BGP stores all the updates that the
neighbor receives but does not reset the peer-session. Entering this command starts the storage of updates, which is required to do
inbound soft reconguration.
neighbor {ip-address} soft-reconfiguration inbound
2 Enter Address Family mode in ROUTER-NEIGHBOR mode.
address-family {[ipv4 | ipv6] [unicast]}
3 Congure soft-conguration for the neighbors belonging to the template.
soft-reconfiguration inbound
4 Clear all information or only specic details in EXEC mode.
clear ip bgp {neighbor-address | * } [soft in]
• * — Clears all peers.
• neighbor-address — Clears the neighbor with this IP address.
Soft-reconguration of IPv4 neighbor
OS10(conf-router-neighbor)# address-family ipv4 unicast
OS10(conf-router-bgp-neighbor-af)# soft-reconfiguration inbound
Soft-reconguration of IPv6 neighbor
OS10(conf-router-neighbor)# address-family ipv6 unicast
OS10(conf-router-bgp-neighbor-af)# soft-reconfiguration inbound
BGP commands
activate
Enables the neighbor or peer group to be the current address-family identier (AFI).
Syntax
activate
Parameters None
Default Not congured
Command Mode ROUTER-BGP-NEIGHBOR-AF
Usage Information This command is used for exchanging IPv4 or IPv6 address family information with IPv4 or IPv6 neighbor. IPv4
unicast Address family is enabled by default. To activate IPv6 address family for IPv6 neighbor, use the activate
command. To de-activate IPv4 address family for IPv6 neighbor, use the no activate command.
Example
OS10(conf-router-neighbor)# address-family ipv4 unicast
OS10(conf-router-bgp-neighbor-af)# activate
Supported Releases 10.2.0E or later
add-path
Allows the system to advertise multiple paths for the same destination without replacing previous paths with new ones.
Syntax
add-path {both path count | receive | send path count}
Parameters
• both path count — Enter the number of paths to advertise to the peer, from 2 to 64.
