The current IPv6 MBGP implementation supports the route-refresh feature that enables dynamic route
refresh without terminating IPv6 MBGP connections.
However, if a peer that does not support route refresh exists in the network, you must configure the peer
keep-all-routes command to save all routes from the peer. When the routing policy is changed, the
system will update the IPv6 MBGP routing table and apply the new policy.
Soft reset through route-refresh
If the peer is enabled with route refresh, when the IPv6 MBGP route selection policy is modified on a
router, the router advertises a route-refresh message to its IPv6 MBGP peers, which resend their routing
information to the router after they receive the message. Therefore, the local router can perform dynamic
route update and apply the new policy without terminating IPv6 MBGP connections.
Follow these steps to configure IPv6 MBGP soft reset through route-refresh:

Enabled by default
Perform a manual soft-reset
If the peer does not support route refresh, use the peer keep-all-routes command to save all the route
updates from the peer, and then use the refresh bgp ipv6 multicast command to soft-reset IPv6 MBGP
connections to refresh the IPv6 MBGP routing table and apply the new policy without terminating IPv6
MBGP connections.

The BGP Outbound Route Filter (ORF) feature enables a BGP speaker to send a set of ORFs to its BGP
peer through route-refresh messages. The peer then applies the ORFs, in addition to its local routing
