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.
debug ip bgp keepalives
Allows you to view information about BGP keepalive messages.
Syntax
debug ip bgp [ipv6-address | peer-group peer-group-name] keepalives [in |
out]
To disable debugging, use the no debug ip bgp [ip-address | peer-group peer-group-
name] keepalives [in | out] command.
Parameters
ipv6-address (OPTIONAL) Enter the IPv6 address in the x:x:x:x::x format followed by the prefix
length in the /x format. The range is /0 to /128.
