removing a route-map from BGP Neighbor

[chad.parish]

If I wish to remove a

route-map

from a BGP neighbor without removing the neighbor itself does the below work?

router bgp x.x.x.x

neighbor x.x.x.x

no route-map TEST

[balaji.bandi · Accepted solution]

yes that should work, if that is intention to remove

route-map

[chad.parish]

Yes, the example I found with Cisco would remove the whole neighbor config which I want to avoid.

[MHM Cisco World · Accepted solution]

Sure it work no need to remove neighbor 

But I think you need hard reset the bgp session with 

Clear ip bgp xx 

This make router reuse prefix that filter before with

route-map 

[chad.parish]

so after such a change I must do a

clear ip bgp (AS#)

[MHM Cisco World]

Yes' the bgp is so slow if you wait bgp to do it automatic then it can take more than 30 min ( as I know)

Clear ip bgp

faster this process.

[chad.parish]

 Is there a way to

soft clear bgp

just for that neighbor?

[MHM Cisco World]

You need to config it first' if you config then no need hard reset' but I dont think you config it.

[chad.parish]

nd I assume one would also do a

clear bgp

after adding a

route-map

to a neighbor statement

[chad.parish]

I have multiple neighbors and wish only to have to do a clear on the neighbor in question if possible, in the least intrusive way.

[MHM Cisco World]

All neighbor in same AS ?

[chad.parish]

Actually, if I just do a outbound route refresh, that should not be disruptive based on what I have read.  The route refresh command being ...

clear ip bgp 192.168.12.1 out

[MHM Cisco World]

If both peer support route refresh' then that will excellent solution.

Good luck

[chad.parish]

would I need to disable soft-reconfiguration inbound under the neighbor config for route refresh to work?

[MHM Cisco World]

Need to check this point but I dont think you need so (route map is out not in and soft is IN).

show ip bgp neighbors x.x.x.x | begin capabilities

This need to check if refresh is enable or not.
