Multi-Instance BGP

[john.kroehle]

BGP Multi-instance was supposed to be released in XR 4.2, I could not find any mention of it in the Release notes for 4.2, 4.3, & 5.1?

How do I find out if it was implemented and if so how to configure it, if not if it is still on the road map?

Thanks,

John

Hello,

It is in release note XR .4.2:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr9000/software/asr9k_r4.2/general/release/notes/reln_a9k_42.html

And some writing on Cisco doc:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/crs/software/crs_r4.2/routing/configuration/guide/b_routing_cg42crs_chapter_01.html#concept_E6B1D3D6B8CA4742AED837B3A94E826F

Below is the example what i did in my lab running 4.2.3:

RP/0/RSP1/CPU0:ASR-9006-01#show run router bgp

Fri Jan 31 21:05:02.170 UTC

router bgp 1 instance IPV4

bgp router-id 72.15.48.5

bgp graceful-restart

ibgp policy out enforce-modifications

address-family ipv4 unicast

  redistribute connected

  allocate-label all

!

address-family vpnv4 unicast

  retain route-target all

!

neighbor 172.16.8.3

  remote-as 1

  update-source Loopback0

  address-family ipv4 labeled-unicast

   route-policy PASS in

   route-policy PASS out

  !

router bgp 1 instance IPV6

bgp router-id 99.2.3.4

address-family ipv6 unicast

  redistribute connected
