Configuring basic IPv6 MBGP functions

Refer to the following information for details about 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.
•
Configure basic BGP.

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 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.
