Usage
Information
This command enables soft-reconfiguration for the BGP neighbor specified. BGP stores all the updates
the neighbor receives but does not reset the peer-session.
You cannot set this configuration for a peer that is associated with a peer group. Similarly, you cannot
associate a peer to a peer group if that peer is already configured with these settings.
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.
NOTE: This command is supported in BGP Router Configuration mode for IPv4 Unicast address only.
