2. Specify the AS number and enter ROUTER BGP configuration mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
router bgp as-number
3. Specify the address family as IPv4.
CONFIG-ROUTERBGP mode
address-family ipv4 vrf vrf-name
4. Add an IPv4 BGP neighbor or peer group in a remote AS.
CONFIG-ROUTERBGP_ADDRESSFAMILY mode
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group name} remote-as as-number
5. Enable the BGP neighbor.
CONFIG-ROUTERBGP_ADDRESSFAMILY mode
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} no shutdown
6. Add an IPv6 BGP neighbor or peer group in a remote AS.
CONFIG-ROUTERBGP_ADDRESSFAMILY mode
neighbor {ipv6-address | peer-group name} remote-as as-number
7. Enable the BGP neighbor.
CONFIG-ROUTERBGP_ADDRESSFAMILY mode
neighbor { ipv6-address | peer-group-name} no shutdown
8. Specify the address family as IPv6.
CONFIG-ROUTERBGP_ADDRESSFAMILY mode
address-family ipv6 unicast vrf vrf-name
NOTE: Before performing this step, create the required VRF.
9. Activate the neighbor in IPv6 address family.
CONFIG-ROUTERBGPv6_ADDRESSFAMILY mode
neighbor ipv6-address activate
10. Configure parameters for a BFD session established with all neighbors discovered by BGP. Or establish a BFD session with a
specified BGP neighbor or peer group using the default BFD session parameters.
