Implementing Multiprotocol BGP for IPv6
First Published: June 7, 2001Last Updated: March 31, 2009This module describes how to configure multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for IPv6. BGP is an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) used mainly to connect separate routing domains that contain independent routing policies (autonomous systems). Connecting to a service provider for access to the Internet is a common use for BGP. BGP can also be used within an autonomous system and this variation is referred to as internal BGP (iBGP). Multiprotocol BGP is an enhanced BGP that carries routing information for multiple network layer protocol address families, for example, IPv6 address family and for IP multicast routes. All BGP commands and routing policy capabilities can be used with multiprotocol BGP.

Information About Implementing Multiprotocol BGP for IPv6
To configure multiprotocol BGP extensions for IPv6, you need to understand the following concepts:
•
•
Multiprotocol BGP Extensions for IPv6
Multiprotocol BGP is the supported EGP for IPv6. Multiprotocol BGP extensions for IPv6 supports the same features and functionality as IPv4 BGP. IPv6 enhancements to multiprotocol BGP include support for an IPv6 address family and network layer reachability information (NLRI) and next hop (the next router in the path to the destination) attributes that use IPv6 addresses.
Multiprotocol BGP for the IPv6 Multicast Address Family
The multiprotocol BGP for the IPv6 multicast address family feature provides multicast BGP extensions for IPv6 and supports the same features and functionality as IPv4 BGP. IPv6 enhancements to multicast BGP include support for an IPv6 multicast address family and network layer reachability information (NLRI) and next hop (the next router in the path to the destination) attributes that use IPv6 addresses.
Multicast BGP is an enhanced BGP that allows the deployment of interdomain IPv6 multicast. Multiprotocol BGP carries routing information for multiple network layer protocol address families; for example, IPv6 address family and for IPv6 multicast routes. The IPv6 multicast address family contains routes used for RPF lookup by the IPv6 PIM protocol, and multicast BGP IPV6 provides for inter- domain transport of the same. Users must use multiprotocol BGP for IPv6 multicast when using IPv6 multicast with BGP because the unicast BGP learned routes will not be used for IPv6 multicast.
Multicast BGP functionality is provided through a separate address family context. A subsequent address family identifier (SAFI) provides information about the type of the network layer reachability information that is carried in the attribute. Multiprotocol BGP unicast uses SAFI 1 messages, and multiprotocol BGP multicast uses SAFI 2 messages. SAFI 1 messages indicate that the routes are only usable for IP unicast, but not IP multicast. Because of this functionality, BGP routes in the IPv6 unicast RIB must be ignored in the IPv6 multicast RPF lookup.
A separate BGP routing table is maintained to configure incongruent policies and topologies (for example, IPv6 unicast and multicast) by using IPv6 multicast RPF lookup. Multicast RPF lookup is very similar to the IP unicast route lookup.
No MRIB is associated with the IPv6 multicast BGP table. However, IPv6 multicast BGP operates on the unicast IPv6 RIB when needed. Multicast BGP does not insert or update routes into the IPv6 unicast RIB.
Nonstop Forwarding and Graceful Restart for MP-BGP IPv6 Address Family
The graceful restart capability is supported for IPv6 BGP unicast, multicast, and VPNv6 address families, enabling Cisco nonstop forwarding (NSF) functionality for BGP IPv6. The BGP graceful restart capability allows the BGP routing table to be recovered from peers without keeping the TCP state.
NSF continues forwarding packets while routing protocols converge, therefore avoiding a route flap on switchover. Forwarding is maintained by synchronizing the FIB between the active and standby RP. On switchover, forwarding is maintained using the FIB. The RIB is not kept synchronized; therefore, the RIB is empty on switchover. The RIB is repopulated by the routing protocols and subsequently informs FIB about RIB convergence by using the NSF_RIB_CONVERGED registry call. The FIB tables are updated from the RIB, removing any stale entries. The RIB starts a failsafe timer during RP switchover, in case the routing protocols fail to notify the RIB of convergence.
The Cisco BGP address family identifier (AFI) model is designed to be modular and scalable, and to support multiple AFI and subsequent address family identifier (SAFI) configurations.
6PE Multipath
Internal and external BGP multipath for IPv6 allows the IPv6 router to load balance between several paths (for example, the same neighboring autonomous system or subautonomous system, or the same metric) to reach its destination. The 6PE multipath feature uses multiprotocol internal BGP (MP-iBGP) to distribute IPv6 routes over the MPLS IPv4 core network and to attach an MPLS label to each route.
When MP-iBGP multipath is enabled on the 6PE router, all labeled paths are installed in the forwarding table with MPLS information (label stack) when MPLS information is available. This functionality enables 6PE to perform load balancing.
How to Implement Multiprotocol BGP for IPv6
When configuring multiprotocol BGP extensions for IPv6, you must create the BGP routing process, configure peering relationships, and customize BGP for your particular network.

Configuring an IPv6 BGP Routing Process and BGP Router ID
This task explains how to configure an IPv6 BGP routing process and an optional BGP router ID for a BGP-speaking router.
Prerequisites
Before configuring the router to run BGP for IPv6, you must globally enable IPv6 routing using the ipv6 unicast-routing command. For details on basic IPv6 connectivity tasks, refer to the Implementing Basic Connectivity for IPv6 module.
BGP Router ID for IPv6
BGP uses a router ID to identify BGP-speaking peers. The BGP router ID is 32-bit value that is often represented by an IPv4 address. By default, the Cisco IOS software sets the router ID to the IPv4 address of a loopback interface on the router. If no loopback interface is configured on the router, then the software chooses the highest IPv4 address configured to a physical interface on the router to represent the BGP router ID. When configuring BGP on a router that is enabled only for IPv6 (the router does not have an IPv4 address), you must manually configure the BGP router ID for the router. The BGP router ID, which is represented as a 32-bit value using an IPv4 address syntax, must be unique to the BGP peers of the router.

Configuring an IPv6 Multiprotocol BGP Peer
This task explains how to configure IPv6 multiprotocol BGP between two IPv6 routers (peers).
Restrictions
By default, neighbors that are defined using the neighbor remote-as command in router configuration mode exchange only IPv4 unicast address prefixes. To exchange other address prefix types, such as IPv6 prefixes, neighbors must also be activated using the neighbor activate command in address family configuration mode for the other prefix types, as shown for IPv6 prefixes.

Step 1
enable
Example:Router> enable
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
•
Step 2
configure terminal
Example:Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3
router bgp autonomous-system-number
Example:Router(config)# router bgp 65000
Enters router configuration mode for the specified routing process.
Step 4
neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name} remote-as as-number
Example:Router(config-router)# neighbor FE80::XXXX:BFF:FE0E:A471 remote-as 64600
Adds the link-local IPv6 address of the neighbor in the specified remote autonomous system to the IPv6 multiprotocol BGP neighbor table of the local router.
•
Step 5
neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name} update-source interface-type interface-number
Example:Router(config-router)# neighbor FE80::XXXX:BFF:FE0E:A471 update-source fastethernet0
Specifies the link-local address over which the peering is to occur.
•
Step 6
address-family ipv6 [vrf vrf-name] [unicast | multicast | vpnv6]
Example:Router(config-router)# address-family ipv6
Specifies the IPv6 address family, and enters address family configuration mode.
•
•
Step 7
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name | ipv6-address} activate
Example:Router(config-router-af)# neighbor FE80::XXXX:BFF:FE0E:A471 activate
Enables the neighbor to exchange prefixes for the IPv6 address family with the local router using the specified link-local addresses.
Step 8
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name | ipv6-address} route-map map-name {in | out}
Example:Router(config-router-af)# neighbor FE80::XXXX:BFF:FE0E:A471 route-map nh6 out
Applies a route map to incoming or outgoing routes.
Step 9
exit
Example:Router(config-router-af)# exit
Exits address family configuration mode, and returns the router to router configuration mode.
Step 10
Repeat Step 9.
Example:Router(config-router)# exit
Exits router configuration mode, and returns the router to global configuration mode.
Step 11
route-map map-tag [permit | deny] [sequence-number]
Example:Router(config)# route-map nh6 permit 10
Defines a route map and enters route-map configuration mode.
Step 12
match ipv6 address {prefix-list prefix-list-name | access-list-name}
Example:Router(config-route-map)# match ipv6 address prefix-list cisco
Distributes any routes that have a destination IPv6 network number address permitted by a prefix list, or performs policy routing on packets.
Step 13
set ipv6 next-hop ipv6-address [link-local-address] [peer-address]
Example:Router(config-route-map)# set ipv6 next-hop 2001:0DB8::1
Overrides the next hop advertised to the peer for IPv6 packets that pass a match clause of a route map for policy routing.
•
•
Note
If you specify only the global IPv6 next-hop address (the ipv6-address argument) with the set ipv6 next-hop command after specifying the neighbor interface (the interface-type argument) with the neighbor update-source command in Step 5, the link-local address of the interface specified with the interface-type argument is included as the next-hop in the BGP updates. Therefore, only one route map that sets the global IPv6 next-hop address in BGP updates is required for multiple BGP peers that use link-local addresses.
Troubleshooting Tips
If peering is not established by this task, it may be because of a missing route map set ipv6 next-hop command. Use the debug bgp ipv6 update command to display debugging information on the updates to help determine the state of the peering.

Advertising IPv4 Routes Between IPv6 BGP Peers
This task explains how to advertise IPv4 routes between IPv6 peers. If an IPv6 network is connecting two separate IPv4 networks, it is possible to use IPv6 to advertise the IPv4 routes. Configure the peering using the IPv6 addresses within the IPv4 address family. Set the next hop with a static route or with an inbound route map because the advertised next hop will usually be unreachable. Advertising IPv6 routes between two IPv4 peers is also possible using the same model.

Generating Translate Updates for IPv6 Multicast BGP
This task explains how to generate IPv6 multicast BGP updates that correspond to unicast IPv6 updates received from a peer.
The MBGP translate-update feature generally is used in an MBGP-capable router that peers with a customer site that has only a BGP-capable router; the customer site has not or cannot upgrade its router to an MBGP-capable image. Because the customer site cannot originate MBGP advertisements, the router with which it peers will translate the BGP prefixes into MBGP prefixes, which are used for multicast-source Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) lookup.

router bgp 65000no bgp default ipv4-unicastneighbor group1 peer-groupneighbor 2001:0DB8:0:CC00::1 remote-as 64600address-family ipv6 unicastneighbor group1 activateneighbor 2001:0DB8:0:CC00::1 peer-group group1Advertising Routes into IPv6 Multiprotocol BGP: Example
The following example injects the IPv6 network 2001:0DB8::/24 into the IPv6 unicast database of the local router. (BGP checks that a route for the network exists in the IPv6 unicast database of the local router before advertising the network.)
router bgp 65000no bgp default ipv4-unicastaddress-family ipv6 unicastnetwork 2001:0DB8::/24Configuring a Route Map for IPv6 Multiprotocol BGP Prefixes: Example
The following example configures the route map named rtp to permit IPv6 unicast routes from network 2001:0DB8::/24 if they match the prefix list named cisco:
router bgp 64900no bgp default ipv4-unicastneighbor 2001:0DB8:0:CC00::1 remote-as 64700address-family ipv6 unicastneighbor 2001:0DB8:0:CC00::1 activateneighbor 2001:0DB8:0:CC00::1 route-map rtp inipv6 prefix-list cisco seq 10 permit 2001:0DB8::/24route-map rtp permit 10match ipv6 address prefix-list ciscoRedistributing Prefixes into IPv6 Multiprotocol BGP: Example
The following example redistributes RIP routes into the IPv6 unicast database of the local router:
router bgp 64900no bgp default ipv4-unicastaddress-family ipv6 unicastredistribute ripAdvertising IPv4 Routes Between IPv6 Peers: Example
The following example advertises IPv4 routes between IPv6 peers when the IPv6 network is connecting two separate IPv4 networks. Peering is configured using IPv6 addresses in the IPv4 address family configuration mode. The inbound route map named rmap sets the next hop because the advertised next hop is likely to be unreachable.
