Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ipv4-family | Specifies the name of VPN instance enabled with an IPv4 address family. | The value must be an existing VPN instance name. |
| ipv4-address | Specifies the IPv4 address of a BGP peer. | It is in dotted decimal notation. |
| ipv6 | Clears the flapping count of a specified BGP IPv6 peer. | - |
| vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ipv6-family | Specifies the name of VPN instance enabled with an IPv6 address family. | The value must be an existing VPN instance name. |
| ipv6-address | Specifies the IPv6 address of a BGP peer. | The value is a 32-digit hexadecimal number, in the format of X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X. |
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
BGP peer flapping affects the stability of a BGP network and BGP route convergence.
The reset bgp flapping-count command can be used to clear the flapping account of a BGP peer. This allows the switch to re-collect the flapping statistics of a peer to locate BGP network problems.
Precautions
After the reset bgp flapping-count command is run, the flapping statistics of BGP peers are reset and cannot be displayed.
Follow-up Procedure
After the reset bgp flapping-count command is used to clear the statistics count of a specified BGP peer, run the display bgp peer command to display the flapping count of BGP peers and locate BGP network problems.
