You will have to reset the BGP sessions every time you make changes. Here is
what the doc says:

"Once you have defined two routers to be BGP neighbors, they will form a BGP
connection and exchange routing information. If you subsequently change a
BGP filter, weight, distance, version, or timer, or make a similar
configuration change, you must reset BGP connections for the configuration
change to take effect"
Here is the URL for more details:

Subject: propagating routes in bgp

Hi,

I'm working with BGP and I noticed that if I inject new routes into BGP -
say putting in a static route and network
statement that they do not get propagated to neighbors until I do a clear
ip bgp * (or the specific neighbor.)

Why is that? Does BGP not send updates when it has a new route in it's
table that it has not sent to a peer if it is eligible
to be sent to that peer? Or am I being too impatient and it takes a while
before those automatic updates occur? I've also
noticed the same when trying to do filtering or removing a route by
removing the network statement. I always have to
clear ip bgp *. I understood I only needed to do that if I was changing
attributes or metrics.

Thanks,

Julie Ann
