You can configure a BGP4+ neighbor with
a link-local address.
Procedure
-
Access global configuration
mode.
device# configure
terminal
-
Access BGP configuration mode.
device(config)# router bgp
-
Specify the autonomous system
which your device resides.
device(config-bgp-router)# local-as 1000
-
Specify the autonomous system in
which the remote neighbor resides.
device(config-bgp-router)# neighbor fe80:4398:ab30:45de::1 remote-as 1001
This example specifies the neighbor command, the neighbor
address of fe80:4398:ab30:45de::1, the remote-as keyword, and
autonomous system 1001.
-
Specify the interface through
which the neighbor and the local device communicate to exchange prefixes.
device(config-bgp-router)# neighbor fe80:4398:ab30:45de::1 update-source ethernet 3/1
This example specified the neighbor command, the neighbor
address, the update-source keyword, and Ethernet interface
slot 3, port 1.
-
Access IPv6 address family
configuration mode.
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
-
Enable the exchange of
information with the neighbor.
device(config-bgp-ipv6u)# neighbor fe80:4398:ab30:45de::1 activate
This example specifies the neighbor command, the neighbor
address, and the activate keyword.
-
Apply a route map to outgoing
routes.
device(config-bgp-ipv6u)# neighbor fe80:4398:ab30:45de::1 route-map out myroutemap
This example specifies the neighbor command, the neighbor
address, the route-map out keyword, and the route map titled
myroutemap.
-
Return to global configuration
mode.
device(config-bgp-ipv6u)# exit
device(config-bgp-router)# exit
device(config)#
-
Define the route map and enter
route map configuration mode.
device(config)# route-map myroutemap permit 10
This example specifies the route-map command, the name of
the route map, and a matching pattern. The route map sets up the global next hop
for packets that are destined for the neighbor.
-
Specify the IPv6 address of the
next hop.
device(config-routemapmap-myroutemap/permit/10)# set ipv6 next-hop 2001::10
Example
The following example summarizes the commands in
this procedure.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# local-as 1000
device(config-bgp-router)# neighbor fe80:4398:ab30:45de::1 remote-as 1001
device(config-bgp-router)# neighbor fe80:4398:ab30:45de::1 update-source ethernet 3/1
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
device(config-bgp-ipv6u)# neighbor fe80:4398:ab30:45de::1 activate
device(config-bgp-ipv6u)# neighbor fe80:4398:ab30:45de::1 route-map out myroutemap
device(config-bgp-ipv6u)# exit
device(config-bgp-router)# exit
device(config)# route-map myroutemap permit 10
device(config-routemapmap-myroutemap/permit/10)# set ipv6 next-hop 2001::10
