IPv6 BGP Commands
BGP is an external gateway protocol that transmits interdomain routing information within and between autonomous systems (AS). BGP
version 4 (BGPv4) supports classless interdomain routing and the aggregation of routes and AS paths. Basically, two routers (called
neighbors or peers) exchange information including full routing tables and periodically send messages to update those routing tables.
The following commands allow you to congure and enable BGP.
address family
This command changes the context to subsequent address family identier (SAFI).
Syntax
address family ipv6 unicast
To remove SAFI context, use the no address family ipv6 unicast command.
Parameters
ipv6 Enter the keyword ipv6 to specify the address family as IPv6.
unicast Enter the keyword unicast to specify multicast as SAFI.
