1176 BigIron RX Series Configuration Guide53-1001810-01Configuring IPv6 MBGP466. Optional – Configure an IPv6 MBGP aggregate address.7. Optional – Configure a route map to apply routing policy to multicast routes.8. Save the configuration changes to the startup-config file.Setting the maximum number of multicast routes supportedThe BigIron RX supports up 1024 – 153,600 multicast routes.NOTEThis procedure requires a software reload to place the change into effect.To increase the maximum number of multicast routes supported on the device, enter commandssuch as the following.BigIron RX(config)# system-max multicast-route 12000BigIron RX(config)# write memoryBigIron RX(config)# endBigIron RX# reloadThese commands increase the maximum number of multicast routes supported, save theconfiguration change to the startup-config file, and reload the software to place the change intoeffect.Syntax: [no] system-max multicast-route The parameter specifies the number of multicast routes and can be from 1024 – 153,600.Enabling IPv6 MBGPTo enable IPv6 MBGP, you must enable PIM SM or DM and IPv6 BGP. Enter commands such as thefollowing.BigIron RX> enableBigIron RX# configure terminalBigIron RX(config)# ipv6 router pimBigIron RX(config-ipv6-pim-router)# interface ethernet 1/1BigIron RX(config-if-e1000-1/1)# ipv6 address 3001::1BigIron RX(config-if-1/1)# ipv6 pimBigIron RX(config-if-1/1)# exitBigIron RX(config)# router bgpipv6BGP: Please configure 'local-as' parameter in order to enable ipv6BGP.BigIron RX(config-bgp)# local-as 10The commands in this example configure PIM DM globally and on port 1/1, then enable BGP4.Once you enable PIM DM or PIM SM both globally and on the individual RPF interfaces, and enableBGP4, support for MBGP is automatically enabled.Once MBGP is enabled, MBGP parameters are configured under the IPv6 multicast address family.Enter the following command to enter the IPv6 multicast address family level.BigIron RX(config-bgp)#address-family ipv6 multicastBigIron RX(config-bgp-ipv6m)#Syntax: address-family ipv6 multicast l unicast
