configure bgp peer-group soft-reset

configure bgp peer-group peer-group-name {address-family [ipv4-unicast | ipv4-multicast |ipv6-unicast | ipv6-multicast |vpnv4]} soft-reset {in | out}

Description

Applies the current input/output routing policy to the neighbors in the peer group.

Syntax Description

peer-group-name Specifies a peer group.
ipv4-unicast Specifies the IPv4 unicast address family.
ipv4-multicast Specifies an IPv4 multicast address family.
ipv6-unicast Specifies the IPv6 unicast address family.
ipv6-multicast Specifies an IPv6 multicast address family.
vpnv4 Specifies the VPNv4 address family for Layer 3 VPN support.
in Specifies to apply the input routing policy.
out Specifies to apply the output routing policy.

Default

If no address family is specified, IPv4 unicast is the default.

Usage Guidelines

The input/output routing policy is determined by the route policy configured for the neighbors in the peer group on the input/output side of the router. This command does not affect configuration of the switch.

This command applies to the current VR or VRF context.

If you do not specify an address family, this command applies to the IPv4 unicast address family. To apply this command to an address family other than the IPv4 unicast address family, you must specify the address family.

Note

Note

If the specified peer group contains IPv6 peers, it is an IPv6 peer group and you must specify an IPv6 address-family. When the specified peer group is an IPv6 peer group, this command fails if no address family is specified or if an IPv4 address-family is specified. This command also fails if an IPv6 address family is specified for an IPv4 peer-group.

Changes made to the parameters of a peer group are applied to all neighbors in the peer group.

Any configuration change with this command automatically disables and enables the neighbors before the changes.

To configure this feature on Layer 3 VPNs, you must configure this feature in the context of the MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching)-enabled VR; this feature is not supported for BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) neighbors on the CE (VRF) side of the PE router.

Example

The following command applies the current input routing policy to the neighbors in the peer group outer:

configure bgp peer-group outer soft-reset in

History

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 10.1.

This command required a specific license in ExtremeXOS 11.1.

Support for IPv6 was added in ExtremeXOS 12.6 BGP.

Support for Layer 3 VPNs was added in ExtremeXOS 15.3.

Platform Availability

This command is available on platforms that support the appropriate license. For complete information about software licensing, including how to obtain and upgrade your license and which licenses support the BGP feature, see the ExtremeXOS 22.2 Feature License Requirements document.
