 Step2、Configure BGP4+ Route Announcement

n After establishing BGP4+ neighbor, use the following

methods to announce BGP4+ routes:
l use network command to announce route:
ZXR10(config-bgp-af-ipv6)# network <ipv6 network number>
l use redistribute command to import other route into BGP4+:
ZXR10(config-bgp-af-ipv6)# redistribute <other route protocol>

 Step3、Configure EBGP Multi-Hop

n As shown in the figure, R1 need to use R2's address 2003::2/64, which is

indirectly connected interface address, to establish EBGP neighbor.

n configuration on R1（omit other configuration）：

n ZXR10_R1(config)#router bgp 100
n ZXR10_R1(config-bgp)#neighbor 2003::2 remote-as 300
n ZXR10_R1(config-bgp)#neighbor 2003::2 ebgp-multihop
n configuration on R2（omit other configuration）：
n ZXR10_R2(config)#router bgp 300
n ZXR10_R2(config-bgp)#neighbor 2005::1 remote-as 100

 BGP4+ Configuration Example

Configuration Description:
n This example describes how to configure BGP4+. It involves the practical use of
BGP4+, such as IBGP/EBGP neighbor establishment, routing policy, route
redistribution, and Message Digest 5 Algorithm (MD5) encryption.
n As shown in Figure, EBGP neighbors are established between R4 and R1, IBGP
neighbors are established between R1 and R2, and multi-hop EBGP neighbors are
established between R2 and R5. R2 and R5 establish an EBGP multi-hop relation
through R3. Before BGP is configured, it is necessary to ensure that the addresses
used for neighbor establishment between the two routers can interwork with
each other (via IGP; IGP configuration is omitted in this example).

 BGP4+ Configuration Example

Configuration Flow:
1. Enable IPv6 on each interface and configure IPv6 addresses.
2. Create a BGP4+ instance.
3. Configure BGP4+ neighbors and routing policies.
4. Configure the redistribution command and enable neighbors to advertise routes.
