BGP configuration views

BGP uses different views to manage routing information for different BGP instances, address families, and VPN instances. Most BGP commands are available in all BGP views. BGP supports multiple VPN instances by establishing a separate routing table for each VPN instance.

Table 16 describes different BGP configuration views.
