RE: How to prohibit resetting bgp neighborship after any bgp config change in bird.conf

[Maria Matejka]

Hello!

If you change bgp protocol parameters or rename your config blocks, it will restart the sessions, no matter what. Most of the knobs need restarting the session anyway, even by RFC.

The "configure soft" works only for filter changes and you should't run BIRD for a long time before actually reloading the affected channels.

We may suggest better if you disclose what you are actually changing.

When I am doing "service bird restart or reload" or "bird > configure" to affect any bgp config change, add, modification etc., then bgp neighborships are being reset. Is there any way to affect any configure change in bird.conf without resetting bgp neighborships?
