This chapter describes the CLI commands used to configure the BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) and

Multiprotocol extensions to BGP. BGP is a protocol for exchanging routing information between gateway

hosts in a network of ASs (autonomous systems). BGP is the most common protocol used between gate-

way hosts on the Internet. The routing table exchanged contains a list of known routers, the addresses they

can reach, and a preference metrics associated with the path to each router so that the best available route

Multiprotocol Extensions to BGP-4 supports the exchange of IPv6 unicast prefixes, as well as the estab-

lishment of BGP peering sessions with BGP speakers identified by their IPv6 addresses.

The Alcatel-Lucent implementation of BGP-4 and Multiprotocol Extensions to BGP-4 complies with the

following RFCs: 4271, 2439, 3392, 2385, 1997, 4456, 3065, 4273, 4760, 2545

Note. In the following document, the BGP terms "peer" and "neighbor" are used interchangeably to mean

any BGP speaker known to the local router.

MIB information for BGP is as follows:
