Usage Information When you enable soft-reconguration for a neighbor and you execute the clear ip bgp soft in
command, the update database stored in the router replays 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 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.
Related Commands clear ip bgp ipv6 unicast soft – activates inbound policies for IPv6 routes without resetting the BGP TCP
session.
