BGP configuration on Nexus 9000

[TRACY HARTMANN]

I have a Nexus 9000 that I need to add BGP on (we are currently running EIGRP)

I have the feature turned on the Nexus 

Feature Name Instance State
-------------------- -------- --------

bash-shell 1 enabled
bfd 1 enabled
bgp 1 enabled

router bgp 64640
neighbor 10.20.254.108
remote-as 64563

but it won't let me type in any network statements which is what I normally do on my other cisco layer 3 switches

I am assuming I am missing something I need to turn on since the option for network is not even under the router bgp.  

Thanks

Tracy

Hi @TRACY HARTMANN ,

The network statement needs to be configured under "address-family ipv4 unicast" or "address-family ipv6 unicast".

router bgp 64640
address-family ipv4 unicast

network x.x.x.x/y
