BigIron RX# clear ipv6 bgp local routes

Syntax: clear ipv6 bgp local routes

Clearing BGP4+ neighbor information

You can perform the following tasks related to BGP4+ neighbor information:

Clear diagnostic buffers.

Reset a session to send and receive Outbound Route Filters (ORFs).

Close a session, or reset a session and resend/receive an update.

Clear traffic counters.

Clear route flap dampening statistics.

Clearing BGP4+ neighbor diagnostic buffers

You can clear the following BGP4+ neighbor diagnostic information in buffers:

The first 400 bytes of the last packet that contained an error.

The last NOTIFICATION message either sent or received by the neighbor.

To display these buffers, use the last-packet-with-error keyword with the show ipv6 bgp neighbors
command. For more information about this command, refer to

“Displaying last error packet from a

BGP4+ neighbor”

on page 1262.

You can clear the buffers for all neighbors, for an individual neighbor, or for all the neighbors within
a specific peer group or AS.

To clear these buffers for neighbor 2000:e0ff:37::1, enter the following commands at the Privileged
EXEC level or any of the Config levels of the CLI.

BigIron RX# clear ipv6 bgp neighbor 2000:e0ff:37::1 last-packet-with-error

BigIron RX# clear ipv6 bgp neighbor 2000:e0ff:37::1 notification-errors

Syntax: clear ipv6 bgp neighbor all | <ipv6-address> | <peer-group-name> | <as-number>

last-packet-with-error | notification-errors

The all | <ipv6-address> | <peer-group-name> | <as-num> specifies the neighbor. The
<ipv6-address> parameter specifies a neighbor by its IPv6 address. You must specify this address
in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373. The
<peer-group-name> specifies all neighbors in a specific peer group. The <as-num> parameter
specifies all neighbors within the specified AS. The all keyword specifies all neighbors.

The last-packet-with-error keyword clears the buffer containing the first 400 bytes of the last packet
that contained errors.

The notification-errors keyword clears the notification error code for the last NOTIFICATION
message sent or received.

Resetting a BGP4+ neighbor session to send and receive ORFs

You can perform a hard or soft reset of a BGP4+ neighbor session to send or receive ORFs. For
more information about cooperative filtering, refer to the “Configuring BGP4” chapter in the Router
Configuration Guide
