What is BGP Soft Reset?
BGP Soft Reset is designed to allow route and configuration changes without disrupting the network.
With Soft Reset, inbound BGP routes can be added to the routing table without losing connectivity with any existing BGP peer.
Without soft reset, the BGP peer connection would be disrupted, and would have to be re-established.
Graphiant BGP Soft Reset
The Graphiant Edge will undergo a soft reset automatically whenever there are changes in network configuration, routing, or policy.
Any change in the network configuration, routing, or policy that requires a soft reset, will trigger a soft reset.
All requests for a soft reset from a peer device will also be serviced.
Note:
Since the Graphiant Edge undergoes soft resets automatically, there is no manual option needed.
