How do I fix BGP Neighbors received-routes error "Inbound soft configuration not enabled"

[championc]

When running the command "get router info bgp neighbor 1.1.1.1 received-routes" I get an error "% Inbound soft configuration not enabled".  How do I fix this ?

As the error message says just add "set soft-reconfiguration enable" to the neighbor config.

"received-route" option is to show all received routes BEFORE filtered by route-maps. Without that statement, you can use only "routes" option after the inbound filtering.

Command: set soft-reconfiguration {enable | disable}   -Enable/disable allow IPv4 inbound soft reconfiguration. Once enabled, FGT starts storing BGP neighbor received updates.

Be careful when using that. If you have no need for it,  than do not enable it. You will use more memory and a firewall is limited on memory as-is when compared to a router.
