Configuring basic IPv6 MBGP functions

Configuration prerequisites

IPv6 MBGP is an application of multiprotocol BGP. Before you configure IPv6 MBGP, complete the
following tasks:
Enable IPv6.
•
Configure network layer addresses for interfaces.
•
Complete BGP basic configuration.
•

Configuring an IPv6 MBGP peer

Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable BGP and enter BGP view.
3. Enter IPv6 address family view.
4. Specify an IPv6 BGP peer and its AS
number.
5. Enter IPv6 MBGP address family
view.
6. Enable the IPv6 MBGP peer.
Configuring a preferred value for routes from a peer or a peer
group
If you both reference a routing policy and use the command peer { ipv6-group-name | ipv6-address }
preferred-value value to set a preferred value for routes from a peer or a peer group, the routing policy
sets the specified preferred value for the routes that match it. Other routes that do not match the routing
policy use the value set through the command. If the preferred value in the routing policy is 0, the routes
that match it will also use the value set through the peer { ipv6-group-name | ipv6-address }
preferred-value value command. To learn how to use a routing policy to set a preferred value, see the
peer { ipv6-group-name | ipv6-address } route-policy route-policy-name { import | export } command
and the apply preferred-value preferred-value command. For more information about these commands,
see Layer 3—IP Routing Command Reference.
