Command Syntax debug ip bgp {ip-address | peer-group-name} soft-reconfiguration Command Mode EXEC Privilege Purpose Enable soft-reconfiguration debug. Enable soft-reconfiguration debug. To enhance debugging of soft reconfig, use the following command only when route-refresh is not negotiated to avoid the peer from resending messages: bgp soft-reconfig-backup In-BGP is shown via the show ip protocols command. FTOS displays debug messages on the console. To view which debugging commands are enabled, use the show debugging command in EXEC Privilege mode. Use the keyword no followed by the debug command To disable a specific debug command. For example, to disable debugging of BGP updates, enter no debug ip bgp updates command. Use no debug ip bgp to disable all BGP debugging. Use undebug all to disable all debugging. Storing Last and Bad PDUs FTOS stores the last notification sent/received, and the last bad PDU received on per peer basis. The last bad PDU is the one that causes a notification to be issued. These PDUs are shown in the output of the command show ip bgp neighbor, as shown in the following example. FTOS(conf-router_bgp)#do show ip bgp neighbors 1.1.1.2 BGP neighbor is 1.1.1.2, remote AS 2, external link BGP version 4, remote router ID 2.4.0.1 BGP state ESTABLISHED, in this state for 00:00:01 Last read 00:00:00, last write 00:00:01 Hold time is 90, keepalive interval is 30 seconds Received 1404 messages, 0 in queue 3 opens, 1 notifications, 1394 updates 6 keepalives, 0 route refresh requests Sent 48 messages, 0 in queue 3 opens, 2 notifications, 0 updates 43 keepalives, 0 route refresh requests Minimum time between advertisement runs is 30 seconds Minimum time before advertisements start is 0 seconds Capabilities received from neighbor for IPv4 Unicast : MULTIPROTO_EXT(1) ROUTE_REFRESH(2) CISCO_ROUTE_REFRESH(128) Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4) | 251
