Reference Guide

If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peer-group-name argument, all members of the peer
group inherit the characteristic configured with this command.
• Clear all information or only specific details.
EXEC Privilege mode
clear ip bgp {* | neighbor-address | AS Numbers | ipv4 | peer-group-name}
[soft [in | out]]
– *: Clears all peers.
– neighbor-address: Clears the neighbor with this IP address.
– AS Numbers: Peers’ AS numbers to clear.
– ipv4: Clears information for the IPv4 address family.
– peer-group-name: Clears all members of the specified peer group.
• Enable soft-reconfiguration for the BGP neighbor specified.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} soft-reconfiguration inbound
BGP stores all the updates the neighbor receives but does not reset the peer-session.
Entering this command starts the storage of updates, which is required to do inbound soft
reconfiguration. Outbound BGP soft reconfiguration does not require inbound soft reconfiguration to
be enabled.
Example of Soft-Reconfigration of a BGP Neighbor
The example enables inbound soft reconfiguration for the neighbor 10.108.1.1. All updates received from
this neighbor are stored unmodified, regardless of the inbound policy. When inbound soft reconfiguration
is done later, the stored information is used to generate a new set of inbound updates.

Route Map Continue
The BGP route map continue feature, continue [sequence-number], (in ROUTE-MAP mode) allows
movement from one route-map entry to a specific route-map entry (the sequence number).
If you do not specify a sequence number, the continue feature moves to the next sequence number (also
known as an “implied continue”). If a match clause exists, the continue feature executes only after a
successful match occurs. If there are no successful matches, continue is ignored.
Match a Clause with a Continue Clause
The continue feature can exist without a match clause.
Without a match clause, the continue clause executes and jumps to the specified route-map entry. With
a match clause and a continue clause, the match clause executes first and the continue clause next in a
specified route map entry. The continue clause launches only after a successful match. The behavior is:
• A successful match with a continue clause — the route map executes the set clauses and then goes to
the specified route map entry after execution of the continue clause.
