IPv6 MBGP Commands
Multiprotocol BGP (MBGP) is an enhanced BGP that enables multicast routing policy throughout the Internet and connecting
multicast topologies between BGP and autonomous systems (AS). The Dell Networking MBGP is implemented as per IETF RFC
1858.
address family
This command changes the context to subsequent address family identifier (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.
Defaults IPv6 Unicast
Command Modes ROUTER BGPV6-ADDRESS FAMILY
Supported Modes Full–Switch
Command
History
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage
Information
After this command is executed, all subsequent commands apply to this address family. You can exit from
this AFI/SAFI to the IPv6 Unicast (the default) family by entering the exit command and returning to
the Router BGP context.
aggregate-address
Summarize a range of prefixes to minimize the number of entries in the routing table.
Syntax
aggregate-address ipv6-address prefix-length [advertise-map map-name] [as-
set] [attribute-map map-name] [summary-only] [suppress-map map-name]
Parameters
ipv6-address
prefix-length
Enter the IPv6 address in the x:x:x:x::x format then the prefix length in the / x
format. The range is from /0 to /128.
NOTE: The :: notation specifies successive hexadecimal fields of zeros.
advertise-map
map-name
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords advertise-map then the name of a configured
route map to set filters for advertising an aggregate route.
as-set (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords as-set to generate path attribute information
and include it in the aggregate. AS_SET includes AS_PATH and community
information from the routes included in the aggregated route.
attribute-map
map-name
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords attribute-map then the name of a configured
route map to modify attributes of the aggregate, excluding AS_PATH and
NEXT_HOP attributes.
summary-only (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords summary-only to advertise only the aggregate
address. Specific routes are not advertised.
suppress-map
map-name
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords suppress-map then the name of a configured
route map to identify which more-specific routes in the aggregate are suppressed.
Defaults Not configured.
