IPv6 Border Gateway Protocol (IPv6 BGP)
IPv6 Border Gateway Protocol (IPv6 BGP) is supported on Dell Networking platforms.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• IPv6 BGP Commands
• IPv6 MBGP Commands
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.
address family
This command changes the context to subsequent address family identifier (SAFI).
