Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure this task, configure basic MBGP functions.
Configuring MBGP soft reset
After modifying a route selection policy, you have to reset MBGP connections to make it take effect.
The current MBGP implementation supports the route refresh feature that enables dynamic route refresh
without terminating MBGP connections.
However, if a peer that does not support route refresh exists in the network, you must configure the peer
keep-all-routes command to save all routes from the peer. When the routing policy is changed, the
system updates the MBGP routing table and applies the new policy.
Performing soft reset through route refresh
If the peer is enabled with route refresh, when the MBGP route selection policy is modified on a router,
the router advertises a route-refresh message to its MBGP peers, which resend their routing information
to the router after receiving the message. Therefore, the local router can perform dynamic route update
and apply the new policy without terminating MBGP connections.
To perform soft reset through route refresh:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter BGP view.
bgp as-number N/A
3. Enable BGP route refresh for a
peer or a peer group.
peer { group-name | ip-address }
capability-advertise route-refresh
Optional.
Enabled by default.
Performing soft reset manually
If the peer does not support route refresh, you can use the peer keep-all-routes command to save all the
route updates from the peer. Then, use the refresh bgp ipv4 multicast command to refresh the MBGP
routing table and apply the new policy without terminating MBGP connections.
To perform a manual soft reset:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter BGP view.
bgp as-number N/A
3. Enter IPv4 MBGP address
family view.
ipv4-family multicast N/A
4. Keep all original routes from a
peer or a peer group
regardless of whether they
pass the inbound filtering
policies.
peer { group-name | ip-address }
keep-all-routes
Not kept by default.
5. Return to user view.
return
