Syntax
address-family [ipv4 {multicast | vrf vrf-name} | ipv6 unicast
[vrf vrf-name]]
Parameters
ipv4 multicast Enter the keyword ipv4 followed by the keyword multicast to
enable BGPv4 multicast mode.
ipv4 vrf vrf-name Enter the keyword ipv4 followed by the keyword vrf and then
the name of the VRF to enable VRF mode.
NOTE: Use this attribute to start a BGP instance
corresponding to either a specific address family in a
default VRF or an IPv4 address family in a non-default
VRF.
ipv6 unicast Enter the keyword ipv6 followed by the keyword unicast to
enable BGPv6 mode.
vrf vrf-name (Optional) Enter the keyword vrf followed by the name of the

IPv6 unicast without configuring the corresponding IPv4
unicast mode for the same VRF. While deletion,
whenever the IPv4 VRF mode is deleted for the VRF, it
will automatically delete the IPv6 VRF configurations as
well.
