Border Gateway Protocol; Bgp Ipv4 Commands - Dell C9000 Series Reference Manual

BGP is an external gateway protocol that transmits interdomain routing information within and between
autonomous systems (AS). BGP version 4 (BGPv4) supports classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) and the
aggregation of routes and AS paths. Basically, two routers (called neighbors or peers) exchange information
including full routing tables and periodically sent messages to update those routing tables. IPv6 border
gateway protocol (IPv6 BGP) is an extension of the external gateway protocol that transmits interdomain
routing information with extended IP address space within and between autonomous systems (AS).
NOTE: For more information about configuring the border gateway protocol (BGP), refer to the BGP
chapter in the Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• BGPv4 Commands
