Bellow a sample of how BGP VPNv4 and VPNv6 AF configuration looks like:

router bgp 65000
bgp router-id 11.11.11.11
bgp log-neighbor-changes
neighbor 55.55.55.55 remote-as 65000
neighbor 55.55.55.55 update-source Loopback0
!
address-family vpnv4

neighbor 55.55.55.55 activate
neighbor 55.55.55.55 send-community extended

exit-address-family

address-family vpnv6

I have successfully added a *ton* of address families in my build. I will PR it, but we also have found an error. The error that we have found is an FRR error at this link here.

https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/issues/8246

Once I finish up and verifying all of my work I will be putting a PR this week to add address families inside of BGP. Please note, they will be incomplete.....as we'll add more over time. But they do seemingly work otherwise.

FRR coder Donald Sharp kicked ass and fixed it here...

https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/pull/8275

Once this PR is into FRR then we should be able to put in my PR for BGP.

I put in a PR for this:

https://github.com/vyos/vyos-1x/pull/806

We still have problems though as the bug is still not fixed yet in FRR. I checked on this bug and unfortunately the PR that was supposed to fix it did not. I'm still bugging Donald Sharp on it. When it is fixed we'll merge.

The old backend doesn't allow it to do it for 1.3 Release.
