8 BGP4+ Configuration
About This Chapter
BGP4+, which is applicable to the large-scale IPv6 network with a complicated structure, is used
between ASs to transmit routing information.
8.1 BGP4+ Overview
BGP4+ is mainly used to control route transmission and select optimal routes.
8.2 BGP4+ Features Supported by the S6700
The system supports various BGP4+ features, including load balancing, route aggregation, route
dampening, community, route reflector, confederation, BGP4+ accounting, 6PE, BFD for BGP4
+, BGP4+ GR, and BGP4+ NSR.
8.3 Configuring Basic BGP4+ Functions
Before building BGP4+ networks, you need to configure basic BGP4+ functions.
8.4 Configuring BGP4+ Route Attributes
BGP4+ has many route attributes. By configuring these attributes, you can change BGP4+
routing policies.
8.5 Controlling the Advertising and Receiving of BGP4+ Routing Information
BGP4+ can perform routing policies on or filter only the routes to be advertised to a certain peer.
8.6 Configuring Parameters of a Connection Between BGP4+ Peers
By setting parameters of a connection between BGP4+ peers, you can adjust and optimize the
BGP4+ network performance.
8.7 Configuring BGP4+ Tracking
On a network where BFD is unsuitable to deploy, you can configure BGP4+ tracking to
implement the fast convergence of IBGP routes.
8.8 Configuring BGP4+ Route Dampening
By configuring BGP4+ route dampening, you can suppress unstable BGP4+ routes.
8.9 Configuring BGP4+ Load Balancing
Configuring BGP4+ load balancing better utilizes network resources and reduces network
congestion.
