Re: BGP Question

Hi Sunil,

*clear ip bgp x.x.x.x in *----
issues a route refresh message and this way asks the peer to resend all his
BGP updates.

*clear ip bgp x.x.x.x soft in *----
which does a soft reset of the peer without having the flap to the peer.
This could be used when changing the filtering policy and then needing to
reset the peer.

Hope this helps....

Regards,
Manoj
