Re: BGP Question

Router#clear ip bgp X.X.X.X in

-> You ask your peer to send its prefixes one more time.

Router#clear ip bgp X.X.X.X soft in

-> You get your peer's prefixes from the clean (without filtering) copy you
keep of them in memory if you have soft-reconfiguration inbound enabled.

Then you filter them according to the changes you might have applied to your
policies for that peer.
