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 {standard|enhanced}
no bgp config-type
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:
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:
To specify the enhanced BGP configuration type, enter the following commands:
