Configuring IPv6 MBGP soft reset

After you modifying a route selection policy, you must reset IPv6 MBGP connections to make the new one

take effect.
The current IPv6 MBGP implementation supports the route-refresh feature that enables dynamic route
refresh without terminating IPv6 MBGP connections.
If a peer that does not support route-refresh exists in the network, you must configure the peer

keep-all-routes command to save all routes from the peer. When the routing policy is changed, the

system will update the IPv6 MBGP routing table and apply the new policy.

Performing soft reset through route refresh

If the peer is enabled with route refresh, when the IPv6 MBGP route selection policy is modified on a

router, the router advertises a route-refresh message to its IPv6 MBGP peers, which resend their routing

information to the router after they receive the message. Therefore, the local router can perform dynamic

route update and apply the new policy without terminating IPv6 MBGP connections.
To configure IPv6 MBGP soft reset through route refresh:

Step

Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter BGP view.

bgp as-number

N/A

3.

Enter IPv6 address family
view.

ipv6-family

N/A

4.

Enable IPv6 BGP route refresh
for a peer or a peer group.

peer { ipv6-group-name |
ipv6-address } capability-advertise

route-refresh

Optional.
Enabled by default.

Performing soft reset manually

If the peer does not support route refresh, you can use the peer keep-all-routes command to save all the
route updates from the peer, and then use the refresh bgp ipv6 multicast command to soft-reset IPv6

MBGP connections to refresh the IPv6 MBGP routing table and apply the new policy without terminating

IPv6 MBGP connections.
To perform soft reset manually:

Step

Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

5.

Keep all routes from a peer or
a peer group regardless of

whether they pass the

inbound filtering policy.

peer { ipv6-group-name |
ipv6-address
} keep-all-routes

Not kept by default.
