Usage Information
This command enables soft-reconguration for the BGP neighbor specied. BGP stores all the updates the
neighbor receives but does not reset the peer-session.
You cannot set this conguration 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 congured 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 Conguration mode for IPv4 Unicast address
only.
Related Commands show ip bgp neighbors — displays routes received by a neighbor.

Syntax

timers command.
Parameters
ip-address Enter the IP address of the peer router in dotted decimal format.
peer-group-name Enter the name of the peer group to set the timers for all routers within the peer
group.
