BIER commands
bfr-id
Use bfr-id to specify a BFR ID for a BIER edge device.
Use undo bfr-id to delete the BFR ID of a BIER edge device.
Syntax
bfr-id bfr-id
undo bfr-id
Default
The device does not have a BFR ID.

Parameters
bfr-id: Specifies a BFR ID in the range of 1 to 65535.
Usage guidelines
A BFR refers to a BFIR or BFER. In a BIER sub-domain, a BFIR or BFER must have a unique BFR ID. If a BIER edge device belongs to more than one sub-domain, it can have the same or different BFR IDs in different sub-domains.
Examples
# Specify a BFR ID of 1000 for the device.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] bier
[Sysname-bier] sub-domain 1 ipv6
[Sysname-bier-sub-domain-1-ipv6] bfr-id 1000

Use undo bfr-prefix to restore the default.
Syntax
bfr-prefix interface interface-type interface-number
undo bfr-prefix
Default
The device does not have a BFR prefix.

Parameters
interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number. Only loopback interfaces are supported.
Usage guidelines
As an equivalent to a router ID in a routing protocol, a BFR prefix identifies a BFR in a sub-domain. In a sub-domain, a BFR must have a unique BFR prefix that is routable.
Only the IP address of a loopback interface can be configured as a BFR prefix. After the IP address of a loopback interface is configured as a BFR prefix, the loopback interface cannot be deleted.
If a BFR belongs to more than one sub-domain, it can have the same or different BFR prefixes in different sub-domains.
Examples
# Specify the IPv6 address of a loopback interface as the BFR prefix.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface LoopBack 0
[Sysname-LoopBack0] ipv6 address 100::1 32
[Sysname-LoopBack0] quit
[Sysname] bier
[Sysname-bier] sub-domain 0 ipv6
[Sysname-bier-sub-domain-0-ipv6] bfr-prefix interface loopback 0

Use bfr-neighbor mpra to specify a BFR neighbor and the BFR ID range of BIER edge devices that can be reached through the BFR neighbor.
Use undo bfr-neighbor mpra to remove the specified BFR neighbor and BFR ID range.
Syntax
bfr-neighbor mpra ipv6-address bfr-id bfr-id-start [ to bfr-id-end ] [ preference preference-value ]
undo bfr-neighbor mpra ipv6-address [ bfr-id bfr-id-start [ to bfr-id-end ] ]
Default

Parameters
ipv6-address: Specifies a BFR neighbor by its IPv6 unicast address (MPRA).
bfr-id bfr-id-start: Specifies a single BFR ID (if you do not specify the to bfr-id-end option) or the start BFR ID of a BFR ID range (if you specify the to bfr-id-end option). The value range for the bfr-id-start argument is 1 to 65535.
to bfr-id-end: Specifies the end BFR ID of the BFR ID range, in the range of 2 to 65535.
preference preference-value: Specifies the priority of the link to reachable BFR IDs, in the range of 1 to 255. The default is 60. The smaller the priority value, the higher the priority.
Usage guidelines
In a cross-AS BIER deployment, if the ASBR in an AS does not support BIER forwarding, BIER packets cannot be forwarded among ASs. To solve this problem, you can specify the BFR neighbor on the BFR directly connected to the ASBR and the BFR ID range of BIER edge devices that can be reached through the BFR neighbor.
If all BFR IDs are removed or the undo bfr-neighbor mpra command is executed, the corresponding BFR neighbor will be removed from the BIRT.
You can execute this command repeatedly to configure multiple BFR neighbors and multiple BFR ID ranges.
In a cross-AS BIER deployment, you can configure the priorities of different links to the same BFR IDs reachable through a BFR neighbor to ensure reliable transmission of multicast traffic forwarding. The device selects the link with the highest priority to forward multicast traffic. If the link with the highest priority fails, the device quickly switch over the traffic to a low-priority link. If a large amount of multicast traffic, you can configure the same priority for different links to form ECMP links and load balances the traffic.
You can configure a maximum of four BFR neighbors with the same link priority for reaching a BFR ID.
The configuration takes effect only on the BIRT of the local node and will not be advertised to other nodes.
The total number of BFR neighbors in all BIER sub-domains on the device cannot exceed 2000. The number of BFR IDs reachable through one BFR neighbor cannot exceed 256.
Examples
# In BIER sub-domain 1, specify 3000::1 as a BFR neighbor and specify the BFR ID range as 100 to 300 and link priority as 50.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] bier
[Sysname-bier] sub-domain 1 ipv6
[Sysname-bier-sub-domain-1-ipv6] bfr-neighbor mpra 3000::1 bfr-id 100 to 300 preference 50

Usage guidelines
Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) is a new architecture for the forwarding of multicast data packets. BIER encapsulates the destination nodes of multicast packets in a bit string. It does not require a protocol for explicitly building multicast distribution trees, nor does it require intermediate nodes to maintain any per-flow state.
BIER requires only the encapsulation of a bit string on the BEIR without requiring operating transit BFRs. BIER is applicable to quick deployment of multicast services through the controller in an SDN network.
The undo bier command will delete all settings in BIER view. Please use it with caution.
Examples
# Enable BIER and enter BIER view.

bier bfr-prefix proxy
Use bier bfr-prefix proxy to enable BGP BFR prefix proxying.
Use undo bier bfr-prefix proxy to disable BGP BFR prefix proxying.
Syntax
bier bfr-prefix proxy

Default

Usage guidelines
In a cross-AS BIER deployment, the BFR ID range is used by the BIER to learn BFR IDs in another BIER domain. After being enabled with BGP BFR prefix proxying, an ASBR A node enabled with BGP BFR prefix proxying is called a BFR proxy node. An ASBR enabled with BGP BFR prefix proxying advertises cross-AS BFR ID range information. All multicast packets in an AS can be forwarded by the ASBR to other ASs. This prevents multicast traffic forwarding failures if the devices in an AS cannot generate correct forwarding entries.
|
|
NOTE: Routes with local BIER information generated after the bier enable command is executed do not include BFR ID range information. Routes redistributed by using the import-bier command include BFR ID range information. |
A BFR proxy node does not directly forward routes carrying BIER information learned from a BGP peer to other BGP peers and advertises them as follows:
1. Advertises the BIER information (including BFR ID range information) in learned routes to the BIER module.
2. The BIER module modifies the BFR prefix in the BIER information as the BFR prefix of the local node and summarizes received BFR ID range information.
3. The BIER module advertises the modified BIER information to the BGP module. The BGP module generates a BGP route that carries the modified BIER information (including BFR ID range information) and sends it to BGP peers.
4. After receiving the BGP route, an IBGP or EBPG peer generates cross-AS BIRT entry. The BRF prefix of the edge node is the BRF prefix of the BFR proxy node.
When a device forwards a cross-AS packet, it will encapsulate the MPRA of the BFR proxy node and sends the packet to the BFR proxy node. The BFR proxy node forwards the received packet according to the BIFT.
To avoid loops and ensure correct BIRT entries, perform this task only on one end of an EBGP session.
Before executing this command, you must execute the bier enable command.

Usage guidelines
In a BIER network, a node encapsulates the following BIER information in UPDATE messages:
· BFR prefix—Encapsulated in the NLRI field.
· BIER Path Attribute—A new attribute that contains information such as BIER sub-domain, BFR ID, BSL, and MPRA.
If BIER is enabled for BGP, BGP imports the BFR IDs and BFR prefixes from the BIER module and generates BGP routes carrying BIER information (excluding BFR ID range information).
The device generates a BGP IPv6 unicast route without BIER information and advertises the route to the BGP IPv6 unicast peers. The BGP IPv6 unicast route uses the locally configured MPRA and BFR prefix as the reachability prefix information of the NLRI field. The BGP IPv6 unicast route can guide the forwarding of BIER packets on devices that do not support BIER forwarding. If the peer capability bier command is also executed, the BGP routes generated by the local BFR prefix carry BIER path attributes can be advertised to the specified peer or peer group.
You must execute this command before executing the peer capability bier, bier bfr-prefix proxy, and import-bier commands.

# In the BGP IPv6 unicast address family, enable BIER for BGP.

Parameters
g-bier: Specifies generalized BIER (G-BIER) as the encapsulation type.
bsl bsl-value: Specifies the BSL. Valid values for the bsl-value argument are 64, 128, and 256.
max-si max-si-value: Specifies the maximum SI. An SI can a value in the range of 0 to the maximum SI. The value range for the max-si-value argument is 0 to 255.
Usage guidelines
BFRs in the same sub-domain must have the same BSL.
If the BSL is smaller than the maximum BFR ID in a sub-domain, a set identifier (SI) is used.
The maximum SI is (Maximum BFR ID–1)/BSL rounded down to the nearest integer. For example, if the maximum BFR ID is 1024 in a BIER sub-domain and the bit string length is 256, the bit string needs to be divided into four SIs (SI 0, SI 1, SI 2 and SI 3).
As a best practice to reduce the number of Sis and the number of encapsulated packets, configure contiguous BFR IDs.

# Specify the encapsulation type G-BIER, BSL 256, and maximum SI 2.

Before executing this command, you must configure the encapsulation type as G-BIER by using the encapsulation-type command.
A BFR must have a unique reserved address in a sub-domain.
When the encapsulation type is G-BIER, you must configure a routable IPv6 address reserved for the G-BIER multicast policy in a sub-domain. The IPv6 address is carried in the IS-IS sub-sub-TLV to be advertised to neighbors as the destination IPv6 address in G-BIER packets.
When a BFR receives a G-BIER packet, it compares the destination IPv6 address in the packet with the configured IPv6 address. If they are the same, the BFR performs BIER forwarding on the packet. If they are different, the BFR performs IP forwarding on the packet.
If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.
Examples
# Configure 2001:0:5054:ff::fe5c:8350 as the reserved address for the G-BIER multicast policy.

import-bier
Use import-bier to enable BGP to redistribute the BIER information from an IGP.
Use undo import-bier to disable BGP from redistributing the BIER information from an IGP.
Syntax
import-bier isisv6 { process-id | all-processes }
undo import-bier isisv6 { process-id | all-processes }
Default
BGP does not redistribute the BIER information from an IGP.

Parameters
isisv6: Redistributes the BIER information of IPv6 IS-IS routes.
process-id: Specifies a process by its number in the range of 1 to 65535.
all-processes: Redistributes the BIER information from all processes of the specified routing protocol.
Usage guidelines
The imported BIER information includes the BFR ID range information. The following rules apply to the inclusion of BFR ID range information when BGP routes generated based on the BIER information are advertised:
· If BGP BFR prefix proxying is not enabled:
¡ The BFR ID range information is not included when BGP routes are advertised to an IBGP peer.
¡ The BFR ID range information is included when BGP routes are advertised to an EBGP peer.
· If BGP BFR prefix proxying is enabled, the BFR ID range information is included when BGP routes are advertised to either an EBGP peer or an IBGP peer.
After you redistribute the BIER information from all processes of a routing protocol by using the all-processes keyword, this command does not take effect on any processes of the protocol.
Before executing this command, you must execute the bier enable command.
Examples
# In the BGP IPv6 unicast address family, redistribute the BIER information from a process 1 of IPv6 IS-IS.

peer capability bier
Use peer capability bier to enable the device to exchange routes with BIER path attributes with a peer or peer group.
Use undo peer capability bier to disable the device from exchanging routes with BIER path attributes with a peer or peer group.
Syntax
peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] | ipv6-address [ prefix-length ] } capability bier
undo peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] | ipv6-address [ prefix-length ] } capability bier
Default
The device cannot exchange routes with BIER path attributes with any peers or peer groups.

Parameters
group-name: Specifies a peer group by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 47 characters. The peer group must have been created.
ipv4-address: Specifies a peer by its IPv4 address. The peer must have been created.
mask-length: Specifies a mask length in the range of 0 to 32. You can use the ipv4-address and mask-length arguments together to specify a subnet. If you specify a subnet, this command specifies all dynamic peers in the subnet.
ipv6-address: Specifies a peer by its IPv6 address. The peer must have been created.
prefix-length: Specifies a prefix length in the range of 0 to 128. You can use the ipv6-address and prefix-length arguments together to specify a subnet. If you specify a subnet, this command specifies all dynamic peers in the subnet.
Usage guidelines
With this command executed, BGP will advertise received BIER information to the BIER module for it to generate a BIRT, which guides the forwarding of multicast packets.
The device cannot exchange routes with BIER path attributes with peers or peer groups other than the specified peer or peer group.
Before executing this command, you must execute the bier enable command.

Parameters
sub-domain-id: Specifies a sub-domain by its ID in the range of 0 to 255.
ipv6: Indicates that the device is in an IPv6 network.
Usage guidelines
All BFRs in a network are referred to as a BIER domain. A BIER domain can contain one or more sub-domains.
To use BIER, you must assign the device to one or more sub-domains.
The maximum number of sub-domains supported on a device is 8.
Examples
# Assign the device to sub-domain 2.

ttl-mode
Use ttl-mode to configure a TTL processing mode.
Use undo ttl-mode to restore the default.
Syntax
ttl-mode { pipe ttl ttl-value | uniform }
undo ttl-mode
Default
On a BFIR, the TTL processing mode is pipe and the TTL is 255. On a BFER, the TTL processing mode is uniform.
Views

Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
pipe ttl-value: Specifies the pipe mode. The value range for the ttl-value argument is 1 to 255. On a BFER, the ttl-value argument does not take effect.
uniform: Specifies the uniform mode.
Usage guidelines
When acting as a public network tunnel, a BIER can process TTLs in the following modes:
· uniform—When the ingress node of a public network tunnel adds a BIER header to a multicast packet, it copies the TTL value to the TTL field of the BIER packet. When a BFER decapsulates the BIER packet, it copies the TTL value back to the TTL field of the multicast packet. In this mode, nodes in the public network are visible to packets in the user network. The TTL value of the BIER packet decreases by 1 per hop in the BIER tunnel. A tracert operation can display the actual path that the packet travels.
· pipe—When the ingress node of a public network tunnel adds a BIER header to a multicast packet, it populates the TTL field in the BIER with the configured TTL value instead of copying the TTL value of the multicast packet. When a BFER decapsulates the BIER packet, it does not modify the TTL value the multicast packet. In this mode, nodes in the public network are invisible to packets in the user network. The TTL value of the BIER packet decreases by 1 per hop in the BIER tunnel. A tracert operation does not display each node in the public network so the public network structure is hidden.
The BFIR and BFERs must be configured with the same TTL processing mode.
If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.
Examples
# Specify the TTL processing mode as pipe and set the TTL to 255.
