After the BGP connection is established, only incremental routes are sent. 
However, some special cases exist. For example, when the routing policy changes, 
the routes advertised to the peer or the advertised routes from the peer need 
refreshing so that they can be filtered according to the new policy.

# Request all peers to re-send the routes.

<SW8800>refresh bgp all import 

reset bgp { all | peer-address [ flap-info ] }

User view

peer-address: Resets the connection with a specified BGP peer.

all: Resets all the connections with BGP.

flap-info: Resets the flap-info of a record at this peer address.

Use the reset bgp peer-address command to reset the connection of BGP with a 
specified BGP peer.

Use the reset bgp all command to reset all the connections with BGP.

If the BGP policy or the protocol configuration changes, resetting the BGP 
connection can make the newly configured policy take effect immediately.

# Reset all the BGP connections to enable the new configuration (after configuring 
the new Keepalive interval and Holdtime interval using the timer command).

<SW8800> reset bgp all 

reset bgp flap-info [ regular-expression as-regular-expression | as-path-acl 
acl-number } | network-address [ mask ] ]

User view

regular-expression as-regular-expression: Resets the flap-info matching the AS 
path regular expression.

as-path-acl acl-number: Resets the flap-info in consistency with a specified filter 
list. The range of the acl-number argument is 1 to 199.
