neighbor soft-reconfiguration inbound

Stores all the route updates received from a BGP neighbor.

Syntax

neighbor { ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name } soft-reconfiguration inbound

no neighbor { ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name } soft-reconfiguration inbound

Parameters

ip-address: Specifies the IPv4 address of the neighbor
ipv6-address: Specifies the IPv6 address of the neighbor
peer-group-name: Specifies the peer group name.

Modes

BGP configuration mode

BGP address-family IPv4 unicast VRF configuration mode

BGP address-family IPv6 unicast VRF configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Soft reconfiguration stores all the route updates received from a neighbor. If you request a soft reset of inbound routes, the software compares the policies against the stored route updates, instead of requesting the neighbor‘s BGP4 or BGP4+ route table or resetting the session with the neighbor.

Examples

The following example globally stores route updates from a BGP4 neighbor.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# neighbor 10.11.12.13 soft-configuration inbound

The following example stores route updates from a BGP4+ neighbor for VRF instance "red".

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast vrf red
device(config-bgp-ipv6u-vrf)# neighbor 2001:2018:8192::125 soft-configuration inbound
