peer ipv6-prefix import (BGP-IPv6 unicast address family view) (IPv6)

Function

The peer ipv6-prefix import command configures a policy based on an IPv6 prefix list for filtering BGP routes received from a specified peer.

The undo peer ipv6-prefix import command cancels this configuration.

By default, no route filtering policy based on an IP address prefix list is configured for a peer.

Format

peer ipv6-address ipv6-prefix ipv6-prefix-name import

undo peer ipv6-address ipv6-prefix [ ipv6-prefix-name ] import

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
ipv6-address	Specifies the IPv6 address of a peer.	The prefix is in the format of X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X.
ipv6-prefix ipv6-prefix-name	Indicates the filtering policy that is based on the IPv6 prefix list of the peer.	The name is a string of 1 to 169 case-sensitive characters, with spaces not supported. When double quotation marks are used around the string, spaces are allowed in the string.
import	Applies a filtering policy to the routes received from a peer.	-

Parameter

Description

Value

ipv6-address

Specifies the IPv6 address of a peer.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The peer ipv6-prefix import command can be used to configure a route filtering policy that is based on an IPv6 prefix list for filtering BGP routes to be received from a specified peer, implementing route control.

Prerequisites

If the peer ipv6-prefix command specifies an IPv6 prefix list that does not exist for a peer, use the ip ipv6-prefix command to create an IPv6 prefix list.

Configuration Impact

If an IPv6 prefix list is specified for a peer group, all the members of the peer group inherit the configuration.

After an IPv6 prefix list is specified for a peer, the peer filter the routes to be received from other peers based on the IPv6 prefix list. Only the routes that pass the filtering of the IPv6 prefix list can be received.

Precautions

The peer ipv6-prefix import command is mutually exclusive with the peer route-filter import commands.

Example
