Spirent TestCenter: How can I advertise IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes using only IPv6 STC emulated devices on BGP?(RFC 5549)
Environment/Versions
BGP
IPv4 prefixes
IPv6 Next Hops
RFC 5549
Answer
Create the IPv6 devices on Spirent TestCenter Application and set the BPG configuration to match the one on your DUT and validate that the BGP session gets established.
On Spirent TestCenter Application, under All Devices go to BGP tab and set the following configurations:
AFI/Sub-AFI
IPv6:
Unicast
NLRI AFI/Sub-AFI/NextHop AFI
IPv4:
Unicast:IPv6
You can set this configuration by clicking on the ellipsis button at any field of the AFI/Sub-AFI and/or NLRI AFI/Sub-AFI/NextHop AFI columns.
Then you can configure the BGP routes; please follow the steps below:
Hit the Edit Routes… button at the top menu.
Under the IPv4 Routes configure:
29K routes; this is at the Network Count per Router column.
At the Start Network column, configure the first IPv4 prefix you will advertise.
Set the Next Hop Addr Type as IPv6, and configure the Next Hop IPv6 address.
Open the IPv6 Routes tab, and configure:
1K routes at the Network Count column.
At the Start Network column, configure the first IPv6 prefix you will advertise.
At the Next Hop column, configure Next Hop IPv6 address.
The routing table should show both routes, IPv4 and IPv6
