Announce BGP Prefixes to iBGP Peers

Use the neighbor announce-rpki state command to send the RPKI state to its iBGP neighbor within the extended community attribute. This command also causes this device to receive RPKI state with prefixes from the configured iBGP neighbor. This is only enabled when the send-community extended is enabled in the address family mode.

Before you begin

You must be within one of the following modes.

  • BGP address-family IPv4 unicast configuration mode

  • BGP address-family IPv6 unicast configuration mode

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the router bgp context.
    SLX(config)# router bgp
    SLX(config-bgp-router)#
                        
  2. Navigate to the address-family context. Choose the correct address family that you want to configure this setting for.
    SLX(config-bgp-router)#
    SLX(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
    SLX(config-bgp-router)# 
                        
  3. Enable the send-community extended for this address family
    SLX(config-bgp-router)# neighbor 10.10.11.1 send-community extended
    SLX(config-bgp-router)# 
                        
  4. Enable announcing RPKI state to the neighbor
    SLX(config-bgp-router)# neighbor 10.10.11.1 announce-rpki-state 
    SLX(config-bgp-router)#
                        

    RPKI prefixes and state information is now exchanged with the configured iBGP peer.

Example

The following example summarizes the commands in this procedure. This command enables sharing of prefixes and state information with the configured iBGP peer.

SLX# configure terminal
SLX(config)# router bgp 
SLX(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast 
SLX(config-bgp-ipv4u)# neighbor 10.10.11.1 send-community extended
SLX(config-bgp-ipv4u)# neighbor 10.10.11.1 announce-rpki-state 
SLX(config-bgp-ipv4u)#
