Usage
Information
This command enables soft-reconfiguration for the BGP neighbor specified. BGP stores all the
updates the neighbor receives but does not reset the peer-session.
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 Configuration mode for IPv4 Unicast
address only.
