flush suboptimal-route

Use flush suboptimal-route to enable BGP to flush the suboptimal BGP route to the RIB.

Use undo flush suboptimal-route to disable BGP from flushing the suboptimal BGP route to the RIB.

Syntax

flush suboptimal-route

undo flush suboptimal-route

Default

BGP is disabled from flushing the suboptimal BGP route to the RIB. Only the optimal route is flushed to the RIB.

Usage guidelines

This command flushes the suboptimal BGP route to the RIB when the following conditions are met:

• The optimal route is generated by the network command or is redistributed by the import-route command.

• The suboptimal route is received from a BGP peer.

After the suboptimal route is flushed to the RIB on a network, BGP immediately switches traffic to the suboptimal route when the optimal route fails.

For example, the device has a static route to the subnet 1.1.1.0/24 that has a higher priority than a BGP route. BGP redistributes the static route and receives a route to 1.1.1.0/24 from a peer. After the flush suboptimal-route command is executed, BGP flushes the received BGP route to the RIB as the suboptimal route. When the static route fails, BGP immediately switches traffic to the suboptimal route if inter-protocol FRR is enabled. For more information about inter-protocol FRR, see Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.
