Functional Notes
The soft-reconfiguration inbound command can be used to specify that a BGP AF neighbor on either
the default or nondefault VRF instance store all updates. If the AF neighbor is to be created on a
nondefault VRF instance, the VRF instance must first be created using the command
route-distinguisher on page
the BGP AF neighbor settings for the VRF instance using the command
router's BGP Configuration mode. For example, to configure the IPv4 BGP AF neighbor characteristics for
the nondefault VRF instance RED1, enter the following commands:
(config)#vrf RED1 route-distinguisher ip 192.17.250.24:33
(config)#router bgp 100
(config-bgp)#vrf RED1
(config-bgp-vrf)#address-family ipv4
(config-bgp-vrf-ipv4)#neighbor 10.20.1.1
(config-bgp-vrf-ipv4-neighbor)#
For more information about VRF and Multi-VRF BGP configuration, refer to the configuration guides
Configuring IPv4 Multi-VRF in AOS (article number 2156) and Configuring BGP in AOS for Releases
18.03.00/R10.1.0 or Later (article number 3524) available online at https://supportforums.adtran.com.
The soft-reconfiguration inbound command allows a network administrator to reconfigure BGP policies
without clearing active BGP sessions. Administrators can then institute new policies at any time without
forcing the neighbors to re-establish their connection and possibly disrupting traffic.
