IPv6 Routing over an IPv6 BGP Session

ImageLesson 5: IPv6 Routing Over an IPv6 BGP Session

While you could configure an IPv4 BGP session and advertise IPv6 networks over that session (as seen in the previous discussion), an alternative is to create an IPv6 BGP session between two routers and then advertise IPv6 networks over that session. If you also needed to advertise IPv4 networks, you could do so by creating an additional BGP routing process, using an IPv4 BGP session, just for the handling of IPv4 networks.

The steps to configure IPv6 routing over an IPv6 BGP session are as follows:

Step 1. Enable IPv6 routing with the ipv6 unicast-routing command, ...
