Resetting BGP Connections

Resetting a BGP connection will interrupt peer relationships.

Context

The BGP peer relationship between routers is interrupted after you reset BGP connections with the reset bgp command. Therefore, exercise caution when running the command.

When the BGP routing policy on a device that does not support the router -fresh capability changes, you need to reset BGP connections so that the change can take effect. To reset BGP connections, run the following reset commands in the user view:
