Configuring Advanced BGP
This example shows how to enable advertising and receiving IPv4 routes for multicast RPF for a
neighbor:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# ipv4 address 2001:0DB8::1
switch(config-if)# router bgp 65536
switch(config-router)# neighbor 192.168.1.2 remote-as 35537
switch(config-router-neighbor)# address-family ipv4 multicast
switch(config-router-neighbor-af)# exit
switch(config-router-neighbor)# address-family ipv4 multicast
switch(config-router-neighbor-af)# copy running-config startup-config
Tuning BGP
You can tune BGP characteristics through a series of optional parameters.
To tune BGB, use the following ofptional commands in router configuration mode:
Step 4
address-family ipv4 {unicast |
multicast}
Example:
switch(config-router-neighbor)#
address-family ipv4 multicast
switch(config-router-neighbor-af)#
Enters address family configuration mode.
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch(config-router-neighbor-af)# copy
running-config startup-config
(Optional) Saves this configuration change.
