"edit prefix-set abc inline remove" in ASR9K

[wfqk]

Hi In ASR9K, do you think the below command has different effect with normal way to remove prefix? The below do not need to use command "commit" and implemented under no configuration mode. Usually, we need to list all long prefixes when we want to modify it under configuration mode. Thank you

<In privilege mode>
edit prefix-set abc inline remove 100.10.0.0/19
Proceed with commmit (yes/no)? [yes]: yes

Hello,

as I understand it, the 'inline' keyword opens the (default) GNU nano text editor. You don't need to commit your changes, but save the edit buffer with the 'Ctrl + X' keystroke. This will save your changes to the running configuration.

Thank you for your reply. So that means both ways to delete/add has the same effect, right?

Hello,

excactly.

The 'edit inline' is supposed to make it easier to edit large prefix lists and policies.

Hello,

if using the nano text editor how does this affect the BGP session? will it just updated the rpl during next cycle or does it reset/recalculate right away? Trying to figure out realtime impact on BGP session
