NOTE:
If the peer keep-all-routes command is used, all routes from the peer or peer group are saved regardless
of whether the filtering policy is available. These routes will be used to generate IPv6 BGP routes after
soft-reset is performed.
Enabling the IPv6 BGP ORF capability
The BGP Outbound Route Filter (ORF) feature allows a BGP speaker to send its BGP peer a set of ORFs
through route-refresh messages. The peer then applies the ORFs, in addition to its local routing policies
(if any), to filter updates to the BGP speaker, reducing the number of exchanged update messages and
saving network resources.
After you enable the BGP ORF capability, the local BGP router negotiates the ORF capability with the
BGP peer through Open messages. The local BGP router determines whether to carry ORF information
in messages. If yes, it will further determine whether to carry non-standard ORF information in the packets.
After completing the negotiation process and establishing the neighboring relationship, 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
.
Follow these steps to enable the BGP ORF capability:
