encapsulation-type (BIER subdomain IPv6 view)

Function

The encapsulation-type command sets an encapsulation type, BitString length (BSL), and maximum SI for BIERv6 packets.

The undo encapsulation-type command restores the default configuration.

By default, no encapsulation type is configured for BIERv6 packets.

Format

encapsulation-type ipv6 bsl { 64 | 128 | 256 } max-si max-si-val

undo encapsulation-type ipv6 bsl { 64 | 128 | 256 } [ max-si max-si-val ]

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
64	Indicates that the length of the BitString is 64.	-
128	Indicates that the length of the BitString is 128.	-
256	Indicates that the length of the BitString is 256 bits.	-
max-si max-si-val	Specifies the maximum Set ID.	The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 255.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To set an encapsulation type, BSL, and maximum SI for BIERv6 packets, run the encapsulation-type command. Multiple devices in a sub-domain must have the same BSL.

Prerequisites

A BIERv6 sub-domain has been configured using the sub-domain command.

Example

# Set an encapsulation type, BSL, and maximum SI to IPv6, 256, and 1 for BIERv6 packets, respectively.
