BGP l2vpn evpn Address Family over IPv6?

[Thomas Fritz]

Hi all!

Does anyone know, which IOS-XR release will support BGP l2vpn evpn AF over IPv6?

This is seen on IOS-XRv 6.5.1:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:XR1(config)#router bgp 65000
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:XR1(config-bgp)#neighbor fc::2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:XR1(config-bgp-nbr)#address-family ?
  ipv4        IPv4 Address Family
  ipv6        IPv6 Address Family
  link-state  Link-state Address Family
  vpnv4       VPNv4 Address Family
  vpnv6       VPNv6 Address Family
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:XR1(config-bgp-nbr)#exit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:XR1(config-bgp)#neighbor 2.2.2.2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:XR1(config-bgp-nbr)#address-family ?
 ipv4 IPv4 Address Family
 ipv6 IPv6 Address Family
 l2vpn L2VPN Address Family
 link-state Link-state Address Family
 vpnv4 VPNv4 Address Family
 vpnv6 VPNv6 Address Family

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

IRB IPv6 over EVPN is supported since 6.2.x in ASR9K, for NCS 5500, it is supported since 6.3.x if memory does not fail (I'm old. ;)).

Hi Elvin!
Yeah, IRB IPv6 over EVPN looks good, but: BGP l2vpn evpn AFI between two IPv6 only BGP peers is what I am looking for.
Thanks,
Thomas

Oh, my bad, you mean the BGP session!

Currently not supported. Check the next releases (6.5.2 and 7.x), possibly 7.x would bring this feature.

Thanks, Elvin.

But that still sounds pretty indetermined to me.

I read a Software Roadmap for the 5500, but neither for the XR 7.0.1 release, nor for the planned releases that feature was mentioned.

So let's hope...

Does anyone know if L2VPN/EVPN AFI/SAFI is supported for BGP IPv6 peering in any recent IPOS XR release?

Hi!

Looks like IOS-XR 7.1.2 does support it. But I can't tell at what version they implemented that feature.

BR,
