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

BGP peer through Open messages (determines whether to carry ORF information in messages, and if yes,
whether to carry non-standard ORF information in the packets). After completing the negotiation process

and establishing the BGP session, 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, see

Table 8

.

To enable the BGP ORF capability:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN
instance view.

Enter BGP view:

bgp as-number

Enter BGP-VPN instance view:

a.

bgp as-number

b.

ipv4-family vpn-instance

vpn-instance-name

Use either method.

3.

Enable BGP route refresh for a

peer or peer group.

peer { group-name | ip-address }
capability-advertise route-refresh

Enabled by default.

4.

Enable the non-standard ORF

capability for a BGP peer or
peer group.

peer { group-name | ip-address }
capability-advertise orf

non-standard

Optional.
By default, standard BGP ORF
capability defined in RFC 5291

and RFC 5292 is supported.
If the peer supports only

non-standard ORF, you need to
configure this command.

5.

Enable the ORF capability for
a BGP peer or peer group.

peer { group-name | ip-address }
capability-advertise orf ip-prefix

{ both | receive | send }

Disabled by default.

Enabling 4-byte AS number suppression

When a device that supports 4-byte AS numbers sends an Open message for session establishment, the

Optional parameters field of the message indicates that the AS number occupies four bytes—in the
range of 1 to 4294967295. If the peer device does not support 4-byte AS numbers (for examples, it

supports only 2-byte AS numbers), the session cannot be established.
