Configuring BGP Soft Reconfiguration

To make a change in routing policy, you must clear a BGP session. This causes cache
invalidation, which may have a large impact on the operation of your networks.
Inbound soft reconfiguration needs inbound updates from a neighbor and enables the
new inbound policy to take effect. Outbound soft reconfiguration sends a new set of
updates to a neighbor and causes the new local outbound policy to take effect without
resetting the BGP session. You can configure the BSR to store received updates, a
requirement for inbound BGP soft reconfiguration. Outbound reconfiguration does
not require enabling of inbound soft reconfiguration.
1. Use the clear ip bgp soft-reconfiguration inbound command in Privileged
2. Use the clear ip bgp soft-reconfiguration outbound command in Privileged
