Usage Guidelines

MBGP soft resetting requires that all MBGP devices on a network support the route-refresh capability. The reset bgp command can be used on a device that does not support the route-refresh capability to reset the connections between the device and its peer and enable the device to refresh its routing table.

Example

# Perform inbound soft resetting for all the MBGP connections to make new configurations take effect.
