It will cause not harm however, in the more recent IOS you don't need to
configure this anymore, as they have a feature called "Route Refresh"
To determine whether a BGP router supports this capability, use the show ip
bgp neighbors command. If a router supports the route refresh capability,
the following message is displayed:
Received route refresh capability from peer.
If Route refresh is not supported then you will need to use neighbor
soft-reconfiguration in your config
If all BGP routers support the route refresh capability, then just use the
clear ip bgp * in command. You don't need to use the soft keyword, because
soft reset is automatically assumed when the route refresh capability is
supported.

Subject: BGP soft reconfig
Hi Group,
When im messing around with my own lab, I generally use BGP soft
reconfiguration on all my peers to make clearning them quick and easier
without killing the BGP process.. Does this cause problems, or is it a
bad habit I should get out of? I can't see any problems it might cause.
Thanks
