Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

By default, only peers in the BGP IPv4 unicast address family are automatically enabled. After the peer as-number command is used in the BGP view, the system automatically runs the peer enable command to enable a peer. In other address family view, however, a peer must be enabled manually.

Configuration Impact

Enabling or disabling a BGP peer in an address family, for example, running the peer enable command or the undo peer enable command in a VPNv4 address family, causes teardown and re-establishment of the BGP connection of the peer in other address families.

Precautions

Only IPv4 and IPv6 peers can be created in the BGP-IPv6-Flow address family view.

Example

# Enable a BGP device to exchange routes with a specified peer.
