Configuring BGP4+
45
Syntax: match ipv6 address prefix-list <name>
The match ipv6 address prefix-list command distributes any routes that have a destination IPv6
address permitted by a prefix list.
The <name> parameter specifies an IPv6 prefix list name.
Syntax: set ipv6 next-hop <ipv6-address>
The <ipv6-address> parameter specifies the IPv6 global address of the next-hop switch. You must
specify the <ipv6-address> parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as
documented in RFC 2373.
Configuring a BGP4+ peer group
If a switch has multiple neighbors with similar attributes, you can configure a peer group, then add
neighbors to the group instead of configuring neighbors individually for all parameters as described
in “Configuring BGP4+ neighbors using global or site-local IPv6 addresses” on page 1131 and
“Adding BGP4+ neighbors using link-local addresses” on page 1132.
NOTE
You can add IPv6 neighbors only to an IPv6 peer group. You cannot add an IPv4 neighbor to an IPv6
peer group and vice versa. IPv6 and IPv6 peer groups must remain separate.
To configure a BGP4+ peer group, you must do the following.
1. Create a peer group.
2. Add a neighbor to the local switch.
3. Assign the IPv6 neighbor to the peer group.
Creating a BGP4+ peer group
To create a peer group named “peer_group1,” enter the following commands:
BigIron RX(config-bgp)# address-family ipv6 unicast
BigIron RX(config-bgp-ipv6u)# neighbor peer_group1 peer-group
Syntax: neighbor <peer-group-name> peer-group
Specify a name for the peer group.
To delete the peer group, enter the no form of this command.
Adding a neighbor to a local router
To add the IPv6 address 2001:efff:89::23 of a neighbor in remote AS 1001 to the BGP4+ neighbor
table of a switch, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config-bgp-ipv6u)# neighbor 2001:efff:89::23 remote-as 1001
