Enabling the MBGP ORF Capability

The BGP Outbound Route Filter (ORF) feature allows a BGP speaker to send to its BGP peer a set of

ORFs through Route-refresh messages. The peer then applies the ORFs, in addition to its local

routing policies (if any), to filter updates to the BGP speaker, thus reducing the number of exchanged

Update messages and saving network resources.

After you enable the BGP ORF capability, the local BGP router negotiates the ORF capability with the

BGP peer through Open messages (that is, determine whether to carry ORF information in messages;

if yes, whether to carry non-standard ORF information in the packets). After completing the negotiation

process and establishing the neighboring relationship, the BGP router and its BGP peer can exchange

ORF information through specific Route-refresh messages.

For the parameters configured on both sides for ORF capability negotiation, refer to

Table 8-1

.
