iBGP+ peership on CLIP between two switches with IPv6 Tunneling

The following figure shows a sample network that contains iBGP+ peers using IPv6 tunneling.

iBGP+ peers on CLIP interfaces with IPv6 tunneling

You must enable OSPF on the interface and globally as well.

If you cannot enable OSPF, you must configure static routes to provide reachability to the BGP+ peer.

The static route must point to the next hop for the routes to be installed in the IPv6 RTM.

The next hop must be the BGP peer IP address.

The IPv4 interfaces do not need to connect directly, but the routing table on each switch must include the IPv4 interface of the other switch.

iBGP between the CLIP interfaces needs to run OSPF as a routing protocol so that the BGP neighbor can remain reachable.

eBGP connections cannot use a CLIP interface as an end point.
