Default Not configured
Command Modes ROUTER-BGP-NEIGHBOR-AF
Usage
Information
This command is not supported on a peer-group level. To enable soft-reconfiguration for peers in a peer-
group, you must enable this command at a per-peer level. With soft-reconfiguration inbound, all updates
that are received from this neighbor are stored unmodified, regardless of the inbound policy. When
inbound soft-reconfiguration is performed later, the stored information generates a new set of inbound
updates. The no version of this command disables soft-reconfiguration inbound for a BGP neighbor.
Example (IPv4)
OS10(conf-router-neighbor)# address-family ipv4 unicast
OS10(conf-router-bgp-neighbor-af)# soft-reconfiguration inbound
Example (IPv6)
OS10(conf-router-neighbor)# address-family ipv6 unicast
OS10(conf-router-bgp-neighbor-af)# soft-reconfiguration inbound
Supported
Releases
10.3.0E or later
template
Creates a peer-group template to assign it to BGP neighbors.
Syntax
template template-name
Parameters template-name — Enter a peer-group template name. A maximum of 16 characters.
Default Not configured
Command Mode CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP
Usage
Information
Members of a peer-group template inherit the configuration properties of the template and share the
same update policy. The no version of this command deletes a peer-template configuration.
NOTE: To configure these settings for a nondefault VRF instance, you must first enter the ROUTER-
CONFIG-VRF sub mode using the following commands:
1. Enter the ROUTER BGP mode using the router bgp as-number command.
2. From the ROUTER BGP mode, enter the ROUTER BGP VRF mode using the vrf vrf-name
command.
Example
OS10(conf-router-bgp-10)# template solar
OS10(conf-router-bgp-template)#
Supported
Releases
10.3.0E or later
timers
Adjusts BGP keepalive and holdtime timers.
Syntax
timers keepalive holdtime
Parameters
● keepalive—Enter the time interval, in seconds, between keepalive messages sent to the neighbor
routers, from 1 to 65535.
● holdtime—Enter the time interval, in seconds, between the last keepalive message and declaring a
router dead, from 3 to 65535.
Default keepalive 60 seconds; holdtime 180 seconds
Command Mode ROUTER-BGP
Usage
Information
The configured timer value becomes effective after a BGP hard reset. The timer values negotiate from
peers. The no version of this command resets the value to the default.
