Remarks

Configure updates to a

peer/peer group to carry only

the public AS number

peer { ipv6-group-name |

ipv6-address } public-as-only

Optional

By default, outbound IPv6

MBGP updates can carry private

AS numbers.

Tuning and Optimizing IPv6 MBGP Networks

Configuration Prerequisites

Before tuning and optimizing an OSPF network, perform the following tasks:

z

Enable IPv6

z

Configure the IPv6 MBGP basic functions

Configuring IPv6 MBGP Soft Reset

After modifying a route selection policy, you have to reset IPv6 MBGP connections to make it

take effect, causing short time disconnections.

After the route-refresh capability is enabled on all IPv6 MBGP routers in a network, when a

route selection policy is modified on a router, the local router can perform dynamic route

updates without tearing down IPv6 MBGP connections.

If the peer does not support route-refresh, you can save all route updates from the peer. When

the route selection policy changes, you can refresh the IPv6 MBGP routing table and apply the

new policy without tearing down IPv6 MBGP connections.

Soft reset through route-refresh

If the peer is enabled with route-refresh, when the IPv6 MBGP route selection policy is modified

on a router, the router advertises a route-refresh message to its IPv6 MBGP peers, which

resend their routing information to the router after receiving the message. Therefore, the local

router can perform dynamic route update and apply the new policy without tearing down IPv6

MBGP connections.

Follow these steps to configure IPv6 MBGP soft reset through route-refresh:
