BGP VRF in IOS-XRv 9000 (IOS XR Software, Version 7.0.1)

[Gerardo Marciales]

Hi,

I am learning about IOS-XR, and although BGP configuration (external / internal ) in GRT is not exactly the same as classic IOS, it is something intuitive and question mark helps. However, I am unable to configure BGP on a VRF. Would somebody share a basic BGP VRF configuration in IOS-XR?

Hi Peter,

Thank you so much for helping me out. Your explanation is precise. Therefore, BGP VRF session on IOS-XRv is established. I am sharing the output of the command sh bgp vrf 99 neighbors issued on IOS-XRv, and the config file. However, there are many features to discover along with the how to. Let's have fun digging on it.
