History
Usage
Information
Peering sessions are reset when you change the router ID of a BGP router.
bgp soft-reconfig-backup
c e
t
Use this command only when route-refresh is not negotiated between peers to avoid
having a peer re-send BGP updates.
Syntax
bgp soft-reconfig-backup
To return to the default setting, use the no bgp soft-reconfig-backup command.
Defaults
Off
Command Modes
ROUTER BGPV6 ADDRESS FAMILY (conf-router_bgpv6_af)
Usage
Information
When soft-reconfiguration is enabled for a neighbor and the clear ip bgp soft in is
executed, the update database stored in the router is replayed and updates are
reevaluated. With this command, the replay and update process is triggered only if
route-refresh request is not negotiated with the peer. If the request is indeed
negotiated (upon execution of
clear ip bgp soft in), then BGP sends a route-refresh
request to the neighbor and receives all of the peer’s updates.
