Tuning And Optimizing Ipv6 Mbgp Networks; Configuration Prerequisites; Configuring Ipv6 Mbgp Soft Reset - HP 4800G Series Configuration Manual

To do...
Enter IPv6 MBGP address
family view
Allow the local AS number to
appear in the AS-PATH of
routes from a peer/peer group
and specify the number of
times that the local AS number
can appear in the AS-PATH of
routes from the peer/peer
group
Disable IPv6 MBGP from
considering the AS_PATH
during best route selection
Configure updates to a
peer/peer group to carry only
the public AS number

Tuning and Optimizing IPv6 MBGP Networks

Configuration Prerequisites

Before tuning and optimizing an OSPF network, perform the following tasks:
Enable IPv6
Configure the IPv6 MBGP basic functions

Configuring IPv6 MBGP Soft Reset

After modifying a route selection policy, you have to reset IPv6 MBGP connections to make it take effect,
causing short time disconnections.
After the route-refresh capability is enabled on all IPv6 MBGP routers in a network, when a route
selection policy is modified on a router, the local router can perform dynamic route updates without
tearing down IPv6 MBGP connections.
If the peer does not support route-refresh, you can save all route updates from the peer. When the route
selection policy changes, you can refresh the IPv6 MBGP routing table and apply the new policy without
tearing down IPv6 MBGP connections.
Soft reset through route-refresh
If the peer is enabled with route-refresh, when the IPv6 MBGP route selection policy is modified on a
router, the router advertises a route-refresh message to its IPv6 MBGP peers, which resend their
routing information to the router after receiving the message. Therefore, the local router can perform
dynamic route update and apply the new policy without tearing down IPv6 MBGP connections.
Follow these steps to configure IPv6 MBGP soft reset through route-refresh:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter BGP view
Use the command...
ipv6-family multicast
peer { ipv6-group-name |
ipv6-address } allow-as-loop
[ number ]
bestroute as-path-neglect
peer { ipv6-group-name |
ipv6-address } public-as-only
Use the command...
system-view
bgp as-number
1-10
