Network Requirements
- Set up EBGP neighbors between Device3 and Device4, and configure Device4 to advertise route 2001:4::/64.
- Set up IBGP neighbors between Device2 and Device3 and between Device2 and Device1 respectively. On Device2, configure Route Reflectors (RRs), and configure Device1 and Device3 as clients, so that Device1 can learn route 2001:4::/64 that is advertised by Device4.

Configuration Steps
Step 1: Configure the IPv6 global unicast addresses of the interfaces. (Omitted)
Step 2: Configure OSPFv3 so that loopback routes are reachable between devices.

According to the route table, Device1, Device2, and Device3 have learnt the routes of the loopback interfaces of each other.
Step 3: Configure the IPv6 BGP basic functions.

According to the queried information, IPv6 BGP neighbors have been set up between the devices.
#Query the IPv6 BGP route table of Device3.

According to the above result, Device2 and Device3 have learnt route 2001:4::/64, and Device2 has not advertised the route to Device1.
Step 4: Configure an IPv6 BGP route reflector.
#Configure Device2.

On Device2, Device1 and Device3 have been configured as the RR clients.
Step 5: Check the result.
#View the route table of Device1.

On BGP of Device2, Device1 and Device3 have been configured as the RR clients, and Device2 has successfully reflects route 2001:4::/64 to RR client Device1.
-
If you configure an IPv6 BGP neighbor as a RR client, the neighbor will be reset.
