Configuring IPv6 MBGP community

A peer group enables a group of peers to share the same policy, and a community enables a group of

IPv6 MBGP routers in multiple ASs to share the same policy. The community attribute is propagated

among IPv6 MBGP peers and not restricted to AS boundaries.
You can reference a routing policy to modify the community attribute for routes sent to a peer. In addition,

you can define extended community attributes as required.
Follow these steps to advertise the community attribute to an IPv6 MBGP peer or a peer group:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter BGP view

bgp as-number

Enter IPv6 MBGP address family
view

ipv6-family multicast

Advertise the community attribute

to an IPv6 MBGP peer or a peer
group

peer { ipv6-group-name |

ipv6-address }
advertise-community

Required
By default, no community attribute

is advertised to any peer
group/peer.

Advertise the extended community

attribute to an IPv6 MBGP peer or
a peer group

peer { ipv6-group-name |

ipv6-address }
advertise-ext-community

Required
By default, no extended community

attribute is advertised to any peer
or peer group.

Apply a routing policy to routes

sent to an IPv6 MBGP peer or a
peer group

peer { ipv6-group-name |

ipv6-address } route-policy
route-policy-name export

Required
Not configured by default.

NOTE:

You must configure a routing policy to define the community attribute, and apply the policy to outgoing
routes.

For more information about routing policy configuration, see

Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.

Configuring an IPv6 MBGP route reflector

To guarantee connectivity between IPv6 multicast iBGP peers, you must make them fully meshed.

However, this becomes unpractical when too many IPv6 multicast iBGP peers exist. Using route reflectors

can solve the problem.
Follow these steps to configure an IPv6 BGP route reflector:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter BGP view

bgp as-number

Enter IPv6 MBGP address family
view

ipv6-family multicast
