-> ipv6 bgp neighbor 2004::1 update-source
ipv6IntfVlan2
Use the
no
form of the
ipv6 bgp neighbor update-source
command to prevent the peer with an IPv6
address of 2004::1 from contacting the speaker via the IPv6 interface ipv6IntfVlan2, as shown:
-> no ipv6 bgp neighbor 2004::1 update-source ipv6IntfVlan2
Note
.
Alternatively, you can configure a peer with a link-local address of fe80::2d0:95ff:fee2:6ed0, using
the
ipv6 bgp neighbor update-source
command, as shown below:
-> ipv6 bgp neighbor fe80::2d0:95ff:fee2:6ed0 update-source ipv6IntfVlan2
Optional IPv6 BGP Peer Parameters
Configuring IPv6 BGP Networks
A local IPv6 BGP network is used to indicate to BGP that a network should originate from a specified
router. A network must be known to the local BGP speaker and must also originate from the local BGP
speaker.
Networks have certain parameters that can be configured, such as
local-preference
,
community
,
metric
,
etc. Note that the network specified must be known to the router, whether it is connected, static, or dynam-
ically learned. This is not the case for an aggregate.
