eBGP: IPv6: Dynamic discovery of peers?

[aparikh]

Hi,

I am using IPv6 & Stateless DHCPv6(SLAC). My test requires to configure 1000 peers. I DO NOT want to manually add 1000 lines like "nei x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x. remote-as xxxxx". Can cisco router discover peers dynamically or I have to add each peer manually?

Thanks

Hello,

TMBK, there is no such thing as dynamic peer discovery in IPv6 BGP. I have searched through the RFC´s but no mention of it either. I can imagine that the Neighbor Discovery Protocol could take care of the IPv6 address discovery, but not of the mapping of addresses and AS numbers...

Obviously this is not a definite ´yes´ or ´no´ answer, have you been able to find out something yourself meanwhile ?

Regards,

GP
