Enable BGP4+ in a Non-default VRF

When BGP4+ is enabled in a non-default VRF instance, the device enters BGP address-family IPv6 unicast VRF configuration mode. From there, you can access several commands that allow the configuration of BGP4+ for the non-default VRF instance.

Before you begin

Before performing this task, ensure that a non-default VRF instance is configured.

Procedure

  1. Access global configuration mode.
    device# configure terminal
  2. Access BGP configuration mode.
    device(config)# router bgp
  3. Specify the VRF name and enter BGP address-family IPv6 unicast VRF configuration mode.
    device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast vrf green
    This example shows the address-family ipv6 unicast command, the vrf keyword, and the VRF name (green).

Example

The following example summarizes the commands in this procedure.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast vrf green
device(config-bgp-ipv6u-vrf)#
