Example configuration performed in R2
DellEMC# configure terminal
DellEMC(conf)# router bgp 20
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# neighbor 10.1.1.1 remote-as 655
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# neighbor 10.1.1.1 no shutdown
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# address-family ipv6 unicast
DellEMC(conf-router_bgpv6_af)# neighbor 10.1.1.1 activate

BGP Regular Expression Optimization
Dell EMC Networking OS optimizes processing time when using regular expressions by caching and re-using regular expression
evaluated results, at the expense of some memory in RP1 processor.
BGP policies that contain regular expressions to match against as-paths and communities might take a lot of CPU processing
time, thus affect BGP routing convergence. Also, show bgp commands that get filtered through regular expressions can to
take a lot of CPU cycles, especially when the database is large.
This feature is turned on by default. If necessary, use the bgp regex-eval-optz-disable command in CONFIGURATION
ROUTER BGP mode to disable it.
Debugging BGP
