Usage Guidelines The additional-paths receive command enables the additional path receive capability for an address
family, after successful negotiation with a neighbor. The ability to send and receive additional paths is
negotiated between two BGP neighbors during session establishment.
This command controls whether the local device can receive additional paths from all neighbors within
an address family. This capability applies to all neighbors under the specified address family unless the
capability is explicitly disabled with the neighbor additional-paths receive disable command, which
overrides the configuration for the address family or template.
Use the show ip bgp neighbors command to display whether neighbors are capable of sending or
receiving additional paths. Use the show ip bgp command with a network address to display the path
selections, path IDs, and the capabilities for advertising and receiving additional paths.
Examples In the following example, BGP negotiates with all neighbors in the IPv6 unicast address family to send
and receive additional paths:
switch (config)# router bgp 65000
