Service Manual

To determine whether a BGP router supports this capability, use the show ip bgp neighbors command. If
a router supports the route refresh capability, the following message displays: Received route refresh
capability from peer.
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.
