If a BGP peer does not support route-refresh, you need to save updates from the peer on the local

router by using the peer keep-all-routes command, and use the refresh bgp command to refresh
the BGP routing table.
To save all route updates from a peer/peer group:

Step Command

1.

Enter system view.

2.

Enter BGP view.

3.

Disable BGP route-refresh and
multi-protocol extension

capability for a peer/peer
group.

peer { group-name | ip-address }
capability-advertise conventional

Enabled by default.

4.

Save all routes from a peer/peer
group.

peer { group-name | ip-address }

keep-all-routes

Not saved by default.

NOTE:

If the BGP peer does not support route-refresh and the peer keep-all-routes command is not configured
for it, you need to decide whether to manually disconnect the peer to learn routes again according to the

impact of the new policy.

Enabling the BGP ORF capability

The BGP Outbound Route Filtering (ORF) feature allows a BGP speaker to send its BGP peer a set of ORFs

through route-refresh messages. The peer then applies the ORFs, in addition to its local routing policies

(if any), to filter updates to the BGP speaker, reducing the number of exchanged Update messages and
saving network resources.
After you enable the BGP ORF capability, the local BGP router negotiates the ORF capability with the

BGP peer through Open messages (determines whether to carry ORF information in messages, and if yes,

whether to carry non-standard ORF information in the packets). After completing the negotiation process
and establishing the neighboring relationship, the BGP router and its BGP peer can exchange ORF

information through specific route-refresh messages.
For the parameters configured on both sides for ORF capability negotiation, see

Table 70
