IPv6 Dell Networking supports both IPv4 and IPv6 peering sessions. IPv4 routes are advertised on IPv4 peer sessions. Dell Networking does not support advertisement of IPv4 routes over IPv6 peer sessions. IPv6 routes can be advertised over either type of peer session as described in RFC 4760 and RFC 2545. The user must explicitly activate IPv6 route advertisement on either type of peer session. When IPv6 is enabled, the OPEN message includes the IPv6/unicast AFI/SAFI pair in the multiprotocol capability option. IPv6 prefixes can be originated through route redistribution or a network command. Both can be configured with a route map to set path attributes. BGP can also originate an IPv6 default route. Default-origination can be neighbor-specific. IPv6 routes can be filtered using prefix lists, route maps with community lists, and using AS path access lists. BGP can compute IPv6 routes with up to 16 ECMP next hops. Dell Networking switches that support BGP, IPv6, and VRFs support BGP in conjunction with OSPFv3 or statically routed VRFs. When configured in a VRF, the single instance of BGP runs independent sessions to neighbors, and exchanges IPv6 Route Prefixes, in the VRF and forwards independently. IPv6 Peering Using A Link Local Address Link local addresses are one class of IPv6 address that can be used as a BGP peer address. Allowing link local addresses to be used as peer addresses introduces some complications. These are discussed here: First, consider whether it even makes sense to use a link local address as a peer address. As its name implies, a link local address has link scope; it is only valid on a single link. This characteristic implies that a BGP peer identified by a link local address must be attached to a local link (i.e., shares a Layer-2 broadcast domain with the router where the peer is configured). This restriction is typically met for external peers (with the exception of external peers configured with ebgp-multihop). Internal peers are typically not on a local link. Even when two BGP speakers share a common link, a loopback address is often assigned as the peer address to avoid tying the fate of the adjacency to a single link or interface. However, it is possible to configure internal peers using an IPv6 address configured on the link that connects them. BGP 1389

IPv6

Dell Networking supports both IPv4 and IPv6 peering sessions. IPv4 routes

are advertised on IPv4 peer sessions. Dell Networking does not support

advertisement of IPv4 routes over IPv6 peer sessions. IPv6 routes can be

advertised over either type of peer session as described in RFC 4760 and RFC

2545. The user must explicitly activate IPv6 route advertisement on either

type of peer session. When IPv6 is enabled, the OPEN message includes the

IPv6/unicast AFI/SAFI pair in the multiprotocol capability option.

IPv6 prefixes can be originated through route redistribution or a

network

command. Both can be configured with a route map to set path attributes.

BGP can also originate an IPv6 default route. Default-origination can be

neighbor-specific. IPv6 routes can be filtered using prefix lists, route maps

with community lists, and using AS path access lists. BGP can compute IPv6

routes with up to 16 ECMP next hops.

Dell Networking switches that support BGP, IPv6, and VRFs support BGP in

conjunction with OSPFv3 or statically routed VRFs. When configured in a

VRF, the single instance of BGP runs independent sessions to neighbors, and

exchanges IPv6 Route Prefixes, in the VRF and forwards independently.

IPv6 Peering Using A Link Local Address

Link local addresses are one class of IPv6 address that can be used as a BGP

peer address. Allowing link local addresses to be used as peer addresses

introduces some complications. These are discussed here:

First, consider whether it even makes sense to use a link local address as a peer

address. As its name implies, a link local address has link scope; it is only valid

on a single link. This characteristic implies that a BGP peer identified by a

link local address must be attached to a local link (i.e., shares a Layer-2

broadcast domain with the router where the peer is configured). This

restriction is typically met for external peers (with the exception of external

peers configured with ebgp-multihop). Internal peers are typically not on a

local link. Even when two BGP speakers share a common link, a loopback

address is often assigned as the peer address to avoid tying the fate of the

adjacency to a single link or interface. However, it is possible to configure

internal peers using an IPv6 address configured on the link that connects

them.
