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.

neighbor subnet

Syntax
neighbor peer-group-name subnet subnet-number mask
To remove passive peering, use the no neighbor peer-group-name subnet subnet-number
mask command.
Parameters
subnet-number
Enter a subnet number in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D.) as the allowable range
of addresses included in the Peer group.
To allow all addresses, enter 0.0.0.0/0.
mask Enter a prex mask in / prex-length format (/x).
Defaults Not congured.
