peer label-route-capability (BGP view) (group)

Function

The peer label-route-capability command enables a BGP device to exchange labeled routes with a specified peer group.

The undo peer label-route-capability command disables this function.

By default, this function is disabled.

Format

peer group-name label-route-capability [ check-tunnel-reachable ]

undo peer group-name label-route-capability

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
group-name	Specifies the name of a peer group.	The name is a string of 1 to 47 case-sensitive characters, with spaces not supported. When double quotation marks are used around the string, spaces are allowed in the string.
check-tunnel-reachable	Checks tunnel reachability when imported routes are sent as labeled routes.	-

The name is a string of 1 to 47 case-sensitive characters, with spaces not supported. When double quotation marks are used around the string, spaces are allowed in the string.

check-tunnel-reachable

Checks tunnel reachability when imported routes are sent as labeled routes.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The peer label-route-capability command is applicable to the scenario where labeled IPv4 routes need to be exchanged between the local end and the specified peer.

Configuring the check-tunnel-reachable parameter can only be used to check tunnels on IPv4 public networks.

If the check-tunnel-reachable parameter is configured, BGP advertises IPv4 unicast routes to peers when routed tunnels are unreachable or advertises labeled routes to peers when routed tunnels are reachable. In VPN scenario, this eliminates the risk of establishing an MP-EBGP peer relationship between PEs over a faulty LSP because this will cause data forwarding failures.
If the check-tunnel-reachable parameter is not configured, BGP advertises labeled routes to peers whether the tunnels for imported routes are reachable or not.
NOTE:
To disable tunnel reachability checking, run the peer label-route-capability command, not the undo peer label-route-capability command.

Prerequisites

The peer as-number command has been run to create a peer.

Configuration Impact

If the peer label-route-capability command is run multiple times, the latest configuration overwrites the previous one.

Precautions

When the capability of sending labeled routes is enabled or disabled, BGP connection is automatically closed and the capability of the neighbor is re-negotiated, and then the BGP connection is automatically established.

To configure a 6PE device to send labeled routes, specify an IPv4 unicast address for the peer of the device in the IPv6 unicast address family view.

Example

# Enable BGP to send the labeled routes.
