Table 29-4: List of configuration commands

Command name

Description

address-family ipv6

Switches to config-router-af (ipv6) mode to configure the global network information or config-router-af (ipv6 vrf) mode to configure VRF information.

bgp always-compare-med

Enables comparison of the MED attribute of routes learned from different ASs.

bgp bestpath compare-routerid #1

Enables selection among routes learned from external peers based on the peer's BGP identifier (router ID).

bgp default local-preference

Sets the default of the LOCAL_PREF attribute of routes advertised by BGP4+.

bgp nexthop

Specifies the route-map to be used in resolving the next hop of a BGP4+ route.

bgp router-id #1

Specifies the identifier of the local router.

default-information originate

Advertises a default route to all peers.

default-metric

Sets the default of the MED attribute of routes advertised by BGP4+.

disable #1

Disables BGP4/BGP4+.

distance bgp

Sets the distance of a route learned via BGP4+.

neighbor activate

Enables an exchange of routes between an IPv6 address family and peers.

neighbor description

Sets a supplementary description of a peer.

neighbor ebgp-multihop

Allows connections to external peers that are not directly connected on the interface and to member AS peers.

neighbor next-hop-self

Allows the next hop in the MP_REACH_NLRI attribute when a route learned by a BGP4+ peer is advertised to BGP4+ peers to be changed to the address used for peering on the local side.

neighbor password

Uses TCP MD5 authentication for connection with peers.

neighbor remote-as

Configure the BGP4+ peers.

neighbor remove-private-as

Specifies the removal of private AS numbers when advertising to BGP4+ peers.

neighbor shutdown

Disables a peer connection.

neighbor soft-reconfiguration

Stores routes that have been suppressed by the input policy.

neighbor timers

Sets the KEEPALIVE message sending interval and hold timer value used in a peer connection.

neighbor update-source

Sets the device address as the local address to be used for peering.

neighbor weight

Sets the weighting of routes learned from a peer.

router bgp #1

Configures information about the behavior of the BGP4/BGP4+ routing protocol.

timers bgp #1

Sets the KEEPALIVE message sending interval and hold timer value to be applied to all peers.

distribute-list in (BGP4+) #2

Specifies the route filter to be used as BGP4+ learned route filter conditions.

distribute-list out (BGP4+) #2

Specifies the route filter to be used as BGP4+ advertised route filter conditions.

neighbor in (BGP4+) #2

Specifies the route filter to be used as the learned route filter conditions for a specific BGP4+ peer.

neighbor out (BGP4+) #2

Specifies the route filter to be used as the advertised route filter conditions for a specific BGP4+ peer.

redistribute (BGP4+) #2

Specifies the protocol of learned routes advertised by BGP4+.

Note #1

Common command for BGP4 (IPv4) and BGP4+ (IPv6) peers.

Note #2

See "Configuration Command Reference Vol.2" "15 Route Filtering (Common to IPv4/IPv6)".

Table 29-5: List of operation commands used for configuration

Command name

Description

clear ipv6 bgp

  1. When * in is specified in the parameter:

    - Applies the latest route filtering settings to BGP4+ learned route filtering.

    - Requests re-advertisement of BGP4+ routes to all BGP4+ peers.

  2. When * out is specified in the parameter

    - Applies the latest route filtering settings to BGP4+ advertised route filtering.

    - Applies the neighbor remove-private-as setting to the operation.

    - Re-advertises BGP4+ routes to all BGP4+ peers.

  3. When * both is specified in the parameter

    - Applies the latest route filtering settings to BGP4+ learned route filtering and advertised route filtering.

    - Applies the neighbor remove-private-as setting to the operation.

    - Requests re-advertisement of BGP4+ routes to all BGP4+ peers and redistributes BGP4+ routes to all BGP4+ peers.

  4. When * is specified in the parameter

    Disconnects all BGP4+ peers.
