BGP Soft Reset Command

[johnlloyd_13]

hi all,

we have a 7606 router and just removed a prefix-list entry with our 192.169.XX.154 peer. i would like to know if the command below would be enough for this to take effect. also, would like to know what is the default of this command, is it soft "in" or "out" or both. thanks!

Hi,

BGP Outobount (soft reconfiguration outbound)  route refresh capabilty is enabled by default, however , for certain IOS release you need to enable Inbound route refresh capability for incoming updates to take effect.

Hi Mohamed,

Thanks for the feedback! I feel my query still not yet answered. If I enter the clear ip bgp soft command without the in or out keyword, would it refresh inbound or outbound routes or do both? Thanks!

Hi,

It clears both (Inbound and Outbound)
