ipv6-address
Enter the IP address of the neighbor for which you want to start storing
inbound routing updates.
peer-group-name
Enter the name of the peer group for which you want to start storing inbound
routing updates.
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.
