Configuring a BGP peer
Configuring a BGP peer (IPv4 unicast address family)
Step | Command | Remarks |
---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter BGP instance view or BGP-VPN instance view. |
| N/A |
3. Create an IPv4 BGP peer and specify its AS number. | peer ipv4-address as-number as-number | By default, no IPv4 BGP peers exist. |
4. (Optional.) Configure a description for a peer. | peer ipv4-address description text | By default, no description is configured for a peer. |
5. Create the BGP IPv4 unicast address family or BGP-VPN IPv4 unicast address family and enter its view. | address-family ipv4 [ unicast ] | By default, no BGP IPv4 unicast address family or BGP-VPN IPv4 unicast address family exists. |
6. Enable the router to exchange IPv4 unicast routing information with the specified peer. | peer ipv4-address enable | By default, the router cannot exchange IPv4 unicast routing information with the peer. |
Configuring a BGP peer (IPv6 unicast address family)
Step | Command | Remarks |
---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter BGP instance view or BGP-VPN instance view. |
| N/A |
3. Create an IPv6 BGP peer and specify its AS number. | peer ipv6-address as-number as-number | By default, no IPv6 BGP peers exist. |
4. (Optional.) Configure a description for a peer. | peer ipv6-address description text | By default, no description is configured for a peer. |
5. Create the BGP IPv6 unicast address family or BGP-VPN IPv6 unicast address family and enter its view. | address-family ipv6 [ unicast ] | By default, no BGP IPv6 unicast address family or BGP-VPN IPv6 unicast address family exists. |
6. Enable the router to exchange IPv6 unicast routing information with the specified peer. | peer ipv6-address enable | By default, the router cannot exchange IPv6 unicast routing information with the peer. |
Configuring a BGP peer (IPv4 multicast address family)
Step | Command | Remarks |
---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter BGP instance view | bgp as-number [ instance instance-name ] | N/A |
3. Create an IPv4 BGP peer and specify its AS number. | peer ipv4-address as-number as-number | By default, no IPv4 BGP peers exist. |
4. (Optional.) Configure a description for the peer. | peer ipv4-address description text | By default, no description is configured for a peer. |
5. Create the BGP IPv4 multicast address family and enter its view. | address-family ipv4 multicast | By default, no BGP IPv4 multicast address family exists. |
6. Enable the router to exchange IPv4 unicast routing information used for RPF check with the specified peer. | peer ipv4-address enable | By default, the router cannot exchange IPv4 unicast routing information used for RPF check with the peer. |
Configuring a BGP peer (IPv6 multicast address family)
Step | Command | Remarks |

2. Enter BGP instance view. | bgp as-number [ instance instance-name ] | N/A |
3. Create an IPv6 BGP peer and specify its AS number. | peer ipv6-address as-number as-number | By default, no IPv6 BGP peers exist. |
4. (Optional.) Configure a description for the peer. | peer ipv6-address description text | By default, no description is configured for a peer. |
5. Create the BGP IPv6 multicast address family and enter its view. | address-family ipv6 multicast | By default, no BGP IPv6 multicast address family exist. |
6. Enable the router to exchange IPv6 unicast routing information used for RPF check with the specified peer. | peer ipv6-address enable | By default, the router cannot exchange IPv6 unicast routing information used for RPF check with the peer. |
