If you do not specify a source IP address, the PE randomly chooses the smallest IP address of
the interface bound to the VPN on the PE as the source address of the ICMP packet. If no route
to the selected address exists on the CE, the ICMP packet sent back from the peer PE is discarded.

3.17.5 Resetting BGP Connections
After BGP configurations are changed, you can validate the new configurations through a soft
reset or a reset of the BGP connection. Note that resetting the BGP connection leads to VPN
service interruptions.
Context
CAUTION
VPN services are interrupted after the BGP connection is reset. Exercise caution when running
the commands.
When the BGP configuration changes, you can use the soft reset or reset BGP connections to
let the new configurations take effect. A soft reset requires that the BGP peers have route
refreshment capability (supporting Route-Refresh messages).
