IPv6 BGP Commands
BGP is an external gateway protocol that transmits interdomain routing information within and between
autonomous systems (AS). BGP version 4 (BGPv4) supports classless interdomain routing and the
aggregation of routes and AS paths. Basically, two routers (called neighbors or peers) exchange
information including full routing tables and periodically send messages to update those routing tables.
The following commands allow you to configure and enable BGP.
