Usage
Information When you enable soft-reconfiguration for a neighbor and you execute the clear
ip bgp soft in command, the update database stored in the router is replayed
and updates are re-evaluated. With this command, the replay and update process is
triggered only if route-refresh request is not negotiated with the peer. If the
request is indeed negotiated (after executing the clear ip bgp soft in
command), BGP sends a route-refresh request to the neighbor and receives all of
the peer’s updates.
