BGP and BGP4+ Commands

bgp config-type (BGP and BGP4+)

Use this command to set the BGP configuration type to either standard or enhanced types. When you configure the enhanced type, then BGP and BGP4+ communities are allowed to be sent and received by default. The enhanced type is configured by default.

Use the no variant of this command to restore the default BGP configuration type (enhanced).

Syntax bgp config-type {standardenhanced}

no bgp config-type

Parameter Description

standard Specifies the industry standard style configuration. After setting the configuration to standard, make sure to use the neighbor send- community (BGP and BGP4+) command to send out BGP community attributes. The no synchronization command is enabled in the Global Configuration mode and is shown in the configuration.

enhanced Specifies the enhanced style configuration. The enhanced configuration type requires no specific configuration for sending out BGP standard community and extended community attributes. The no synchronization command is enabled by default in the Global Configuration mode and is not shown in configuration output.

Default By default, the BGP configuration type is enhanced.

Mode Global Configuration

Usage Note that the enhanced type default configuration may cause issues in some networks if unauthorized BGP peers are advertising BGP communities to adjust routing decisions.

Changing modes requires you to reload your device for the change to take effect:

awplus(config)#bgp config-type standard awplus(config)#exit

awplus#reload

reboot system? (y/n): y

When your device reloads, it will load with the standard BGP settings commonly used by most vendors. Apply the standard type configuration if you have interoperability issues.

Examples To specify the standard BGP configuration type, enter the following commands:

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# bgp config-type standard

To specify the enhanced BGP configuration type, enter the following commands:

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# bgp config-type enhanced
