Command Modes ROUTER BGPV6 ADDRESS FAMILY (conf-router_bgpv6_af)
Command History

Usage
Information
When you enable soft-reconfiguration for a neighbor and the clear ip bgp soft in is
executed, the update database stored in the router is replayed and updates are reevaluated.
With this command, the replay and update process is triggered only if route-refresh request is
not negotiated with the peer. If the request is indeed negotiated (after execution of clear ip
bgp soft in
), BGP sends a route-refresh request to the neighbor and receives all of the
peer’s updates.
