Protocols And Standards; Bgp Configuration Task List - HPE FlexNetwork HSR6800 Configuration Manual

The system supports multiple MP-BGP extensions, including VPN extension (see MPLS
Configuration Guide), IPv6 extension (see "Configuring IPv6 BGP"), and multicast extension (see IP
Multicast Configuration Guide).
Address family
MP-BGP uses address families and subsequent address families to differentiate network layer
protocols of routes contained in the MP_REACH_NLRI and MP_UNREACH_NLRI attributes. For
example, an Address Family Identifier (AFI) of 2 and Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI) of
1 indicates IPv6 unicast routing information carried in the MP_REACH_NLRI attribute. For address
family values, see RFC 1700.

BGP configuration task list

In a basic BGP network, you only need to perform the following configurations:
•
Enable BGP.
•
Configure BGP peers or peer groups.
•
Control BGP route generation.
To control BGP route distribution and path selection, you must perform other configurations.
If you configure a BGP setting for a peer group and a peer in the group, the last configuration takes
effect.
Complete the following tasks to configure BGP:
Task
Configuring basic BGP
Enabling BGP
Configuring a BGP peer
Configuring a BGP peer group
