rcIpBgpPeerSoftReconfiguration
Module: RAPID-CITY
OID (symbolic): RAPID-CITY::rcIpBgpPeerSoftReconfiguration

Description: If rcIpBgpPeerSoftReconfigurationIn is enabled in the in-bound direction, policy can be changed and routes can re-learned without having to reset the bgp connection by setting rcIpBgpPeerSoftReconfiguration to in(1). Setting the value to out (2) forces the neighbor to send out all the updates to the remote neighbor without resetting the connection.
What is rcIpBgpPeerSoftReconfiguration?
This setting allows BGP policies to be changed without resetting the neighbor connection; setting it to 'in' applies inbound policy refresh while 'out' triggers outbound refresh. Without soft reconfiguration, route policy changes require a full BGP session reset, causing temporary traffic loss. A router administrator would enable this before changing inbound BGP route filters during peak hours to avoid outages.
