BGP commands activate Enables the neighbor or peer group to be the current address-family identifier (AFI). Syntax activate Parameters None Default Not configured Command Mode ROUTER-BGP-NEIGHBOR-AF Usage Information This command exchanges IPv4 or IPv6 address family information with an IPv4, IPv6, and L2VPN neighbor. IPv4 unicast Address family is enabled by default. To activate IPv6 address family for IPv6 neighbor, use the activate command. To deactivate IPv4 address family for IPv6 neighbor, use the no activate command. Example OS10(conf-router-neighbor)# address-family ipv4 unicast OS10(conf-router-bgp-neighbor-af)# activate Supported Releases 10.2.0E or later add-path Allows the system to advertise multiple paths for the same destination without replacing previous paths with new ones. Syntax Parameters add-path {both path count | receive | send path count} • both path count - Enter the number of paths to advertise to the peer, from 2 to 64. • receive - Receive multiple paths from the peer. • send path count - Enter the number of multiple paths to send multiple to the peer, from 2 to 64. Default Not configured Command Mode ROUTER-BGP-NEIGHBOR-AF Usage Information Advertising multiple paths to peers for the same address prefix without replacing the existing path with a new path reduces convergence times. The no version of this command disables the multiple path advertisements for the same destination. Example (IPv4) OS10(conf-router-bgp-af)# add-path both 64 Example (IPv6) OS10(conf-router-bgpv6-af)# add-path both 64 Example (Receive) OS10(conf-router-bgpv6-af)# add-path receive Supported Releases 10.2.0E or later address-family Enters Global Address Family Configuration mode for the IP address family. Syntax Parameters address-family {[ipv4 | ipv6] unicast} • ipv4 unicast - Enter an IPv4 unicast address family. • ipv6 unicast - Enter an IPv6 unicast address family. Default Command Mode None ROUTER-BGP Layer 3 595
