Configuring MP-BGP
Pre-configuration Tasks
Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) enables BGP to support IPv4 unicast networks, IPv4 multicast networks, and IPv6 unicast networks.
Before configuring MP-BGP, complete the following task:
Procedure
- Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
- Run bgp { as-number-plain | as-number-dot }
BGP is started, the local AS number is specified, and the BGP view is displayed.
- Enter the corresponding address family view based on network type to configure BGP devices on networks.
- Run ipv4-family unicast
The BGP-IPv4 unicast address family view is displayed.
- Run ipv4-family vpnv4
The BGP-VPNv4 address family view is displayed.
- Run ipv4-family vpn-instance vpn-instance-name
The BGP-VPN instance IPv4 address family view is displayed.
- Run ipv4-family multicast
The BGP-IPv4 multicast address family view is displayed.
- Run ipv6-family [ unicast ]
The BGP-IPv6 unicast address family view is displayed.
Different extended BGP functions must be configured in their respective address family views, while common BGP functions are configured in the BGP view.
- Run ipv4-family unicast
- Configure the following MBGP features supported by the Switch:
- Configuring Basic BGP Functions
- Configuring MD5 Authentication and Configuring Keychain Authentication (BGP security)
- Simplifying IBGP Network Connections
- Configuring BGP Route Selection and Load Balancing
- Controlling the Receiving and Advertisement of BGP Routes
- Adjusting the BGP Network Convergence Speed
- Configuring BGP Reliability
- Configuring BGP Route Summarization
- Configuring BGP to Advertise Default Routes to Peers
