Graceful BGP Restart Configuration Example for IPv6

In the following IPv6 configuration example, EXOS-1 is the restarting BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) router, and EXOS-2 is the receiving BGP router.

To configure router EXOS-1, use the following commands:

create vlan bgp-restart
configure vlan bgp-restart add port 2:2
configure vlan bgp-restart ipaddress 2001:db8:1::1/48
enable ipforwarding ipv6

configure bgp as-number 100
configure bgp routerid 10.0.0.1
configure bgp restart both
conf bgp restart add address-family ipv6-unicast
create bgp neighbor 2001:db8:1::2 remote-as 200
enable bgp neighbor all capability ipv6-unicast
enable bgp neighbor all
enable bgp

To configure router EXOS-2, use the following commands:

create vlan bgp-restart
configure vlan bgp-restart add port 2:5
configure vlan bgp-restart ipaddress 2001:db8:1::2/48
enable ipforwarding ipv6
configure bgp as-number 200
configure bgp routerid 10.0.0.2
configure bgp restart aware-only
create bgp neighbor 2001:db8:1::1 remote-as 100
enable bgp neighbor all capability ipv6-unicast
enable bgp neighbor all
enable bgp
