BGP views are almost the same as normal BGP processes, except that routes -selected by BGP are not installed into the kernel routing table. The view -functionality allows the exchange of BGP routing information without affecting -the kernel routing tables. - -Peers configured within a view and their traffic exist within the default VRF. +selected by BGP are not installed into the kernel routing table. Each BGP view +provides an independent set of routing information which is only distributed +via BGP. Multiple views can be supported, and BGP view information is always +independent from other routing protocols and Zebra/kernel routes. BGP views use +the core instance (i.e., default VRF) for communication with peers. .. index:: router bgp AS-NUMBER view NAME .. clicmd:: router bgp AS-NUMBER view NAME |
