• Enable soft-reconguration debug.
EXEC Privilege mode
debug ip bgp {ip-address | peer-group-name} soft-reconfiguration
To enhance debugging of soft reconguration, use the bgp soft-reconfig-backup command only when route-refresh is
not negotiated to avoid the peer from resending messages.
In-BGP is shown using the show ip protocols command.
Dell Networking OS displays debug messages on the console. To view which debugging commands are enabled, use the show
debugging
command in EXEC Privilege mode.
To disable a specic debug command, use the keyword no then the debug command. For example, to disable debugging of BGP
updates, use
no debug ip bgp updates command.
To disable all BGP debugging, use the no debug ip bgp command.
To disable all debugging, use the undebug all command.
Storing Last and Bad PDUs
Dell Networking OS stores the last notication sent/received and the last bad protocol data unit (PDU) received on a per peer basis.
The last bad PDU is the one that causes a notication to be issued.
In the following example, the last seven lines shown in bold are the last PDUs.
