Configuring a Large Scale MBGP Network

Prerequisites

Before configuring this task, you need to make peering nodes accessible to each other at the network
layer.

Configuring IPv4 MBGP Peer Groups

In a large-scale network, configuration and maintenance become difficult due to large numbers of
MBGP peers. You can configure peer groups to make management easier and improve route
distribution efficiency.
Follow these steps to configure an IPv4 MBGP peer group:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter BGP view
Create a BGP peer group
Add a peer into the peer group
Enter IPv4 MBGP address
family view
Enable the IPv4 unicast peer
group
Add an IPv4 MBGP peer to the
peer group
Use the command...
system-view
bgp as-number
ipv4-family multicast
balance number
Use the command...
system-view
bgp as-number
group group-name [ external |
internal ]
peer ip-address group
group-name [ as-number
as-number ]
ipv4-family multicast
peer group-name enable
peer ip-address group
