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.
Follow these steps to configure IPv6 MBGP soft reset through route refresh:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter BGP view

bgp as-number

Enter IPv6 address family view

ipv6-family

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.
Follow these steps to perform soft reset manually:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

Enter BGP view

bgp as-number

Enter IPv6 address family view

Enter IPv6 MBGP address family
view

ipv6-family multicast

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

Required
Not kept by default.

Perform soft reset manually

refresh bgp ipv6 multicast { all |
ipv6-address | group ipv6-group-name |
external | internal } { export | import }

Optional

Enabling the IPv6 MBGP orf capability

The BGP Outbound Route Filter (ORF) feature enables a BGP speaker to send a set of ORFs to its BGP

peer through route-refresh messages. The peer then applies the ORFs, in addition to its local routing

policies (if any), to filter updates to the BGP speaker, thus reducing the number of exchanged update

messages and saving network resources.
