Optional Configuration Tasks - Dell PowerConnect B-RX Configuration Manual

This command adds a router with IPv6 address 3001::1 as an MBGP neighbor.
The remote-as 44 parameter specifies that the neighbor is in remote BGPv6 AS 44. The device will
exchange only multicast routes with the neighbor.
NOTE
If the BigIron RX has multiple neighbors with similar attributes, you can simplify configuration by
configuring a peer group, then adding individual neighbors to it. The configuration steps are similar,
except you specify a peer group name instead of a neighbor IPv6 address when configuring the
neighbor parameters, then add individual neighbors to the peer group.
The command is the same as the command for configuring a unicast BGP neighbor, except in
MBGP, the command is entered in the IPv6 multicast address family level. Here is the full syntax
for the neighbor command.
Syntax: [no] neighbor <ipv6-addr> | <peer-group-name>
The <ipv6-addr> | <peer-group-name> parameter indicates whether you are configuring an
individual neighbor or a peer group. If you specify a neighbor's IPv6 address, you are configuring
that individual neighbor. If you specify a peer group name, you are configuring a peer group.
The remote-as <as-number> parameter specifies the AS the MBGP neighbor is in. The
<as-number> can be a number from 1 – 65535. There is no default.

Optional configuration tasks

The following sections describe how to perform some optional BGPv6 configuration tasks.
NOTE
This section shows some of the more common optional tasks, including all the tasks that require
you to specify that they are for MBGP. Most tasks are configured only for BGP4 but apply both to
BGP4 and MBGP. For information on these other tasks, refer to
