Configuring BGP soft-reset

After you modify the route selection policy, you must reset BGP sessions to apply the new policy. The reset
operation tears down and re-establishes BGP sessions.
To avoid tearing down BGP sessions, you can use one of the following soft-reset methods to apply the

new policy.
The following soft-reset methods are available:

Automatic soft-reset—The BGP router advertises a route-refresh message to the specified peer and
the peer resends its routing information to the router. After receiving the routing information, the

router filters the routing information by using the new policy.
This method requires that both the local router and the peer support route refresh.

Manual soft-reset—Uses the peer keep-all-routes command to save all route updates from the
specified peer. After modifying the route selection policy, use the refresh bgp command to filter

routing information by using the new policy.
This method does not require that the local router and the peer support route refresh but it uses
more memory resources to save routes.

Configuring automatic soft-reset

After route refresh is enabled for peers and a policy is modified, the router advertises a route-refresh
message to the peers, which then resend their routing information to the router. After receiving the routing

information, the router performs dynamic route update by using the new policy.
To enable BGP route refresh for a peer or peer group:
