Use the no version to indicate that routes of the current address family must not be
exchanged with the peer.
See neighbor activate.
To display values from the BGP multicast routing table, use the show BGP commands
with the ipv4 multicast keyword. For more information about displaying BGP parameters,
see "Monitoring BGP" on page 157.
You can use the ip route-type or ipv6 route-type command to specify whether BGP IPv4
or IPv6 unicast routes are available only for unicast routing protocols or for both unicast
and multicast routing protocols to perform RPF checks. Routes available for unicast
routing protocols appear in the unicast view of the routing table, whereas routes available
for multicast routing protocols appear in the multicast view of the routing table.
Typically you use MP-BGP to learn the RPF routes for multicast protocols, especially if
the topology for multicast networks differs from that for unicast networks. However, you
might use this command if you do not want to run multicast MP-BGP, or if you are running
BGP between CE routers in a given BGP/MPLS VPN (the current specification does not
provide a way to transmit multicast MP-BGP routes across a BGP/MPLS VPN core).
Use to specify whether BGP routes are available for other unicast protocols or both
unicast and multicast protocols.
You cannot specify that BGP routes are available only for multicast protocols.
Use the show ip route or show ipv6 route command to view the routes available for
unicast protocols.
Use the show ip rpf-route or show ipv6 rpf-route command to view the routes available
for multicast protocols. It does not display routes available only to unicast protocols.
By default, BGP IPv4 and IPv6 unicast routes are available only for other unicast routing
protocols.
Example 1
host1(config)#router bgp 100
host1(config-router)#ipv6 route-type both
Example 2
host1(config)#router bgp 100
host1(config-router)#address-family ipv4 unicast vrf v1
host1(config-router-af)#ip route-type both
Use the no version to restore the default value, unicast.
