Parameters
ipv4-address |
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.
Defaults Disabled.

Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
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.
