Usage Information This command enables soft-reconfiguration for the specified BGP neighbor. BGP stores all updates for inbound
IPv6 unicast routes 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.

Enable passive peering so that the members of the peer group are dynamic.

addresses included in the peer group. To allow all addresses, enter 0::0/0.
