3Com Switch 4800G 24-Port - BGP Configuration Task List

380 CHAPTER 30: BGP CONFIGURATION
The above two attributes are both optional non-transitive, so BGP speakers not
supporting multi-protocol ignore the two attributes and do not forward them to
peers.
Address family
MP-BGP employs address family to differentiate network layer protocols. For
address family values, refer to RFC 1700 (Assigned Numbers). Currently, the
system supports multiple MP-BGP extensions, including IPv6 extension. Different
extensions are configured in respective address family view.

■ For information about the IPv6 extension application, refer to “IPv6 BGP
Configuration” on page 467.
■ This chapter gives no detailed commands related to any specific extension
application in MP-BGP address family view.
