EVPN MPLS services can be deployed in a pure IPv6 network infrastructure, where IPv6 addresses are used as next-hops of the advertised EVPN routes, and EVPN routes received with IPv6 next-hops are resolved to tunnels in the IPv6 tunnel-table.
To change the system-ipv4 address that is advertised as the next-hop for a local EVPN MPLS service by default, configure the config>service>vpls|epipe>bgp-evpn>mpls>route-next-hop {system-ipv4 | system-ipv6 | ip-address} command.
The configured IP address is used as a next-hop for the MAC/IP, IMET, and AD per-EVI routes advertised for the service. Note that this configured next-hop can be overridden by a policy with the next-hop-self command.
In the case of Inter-AS model B or next-hop-self route-reflector scenarios, at the ASBR/ABR:
A route received with an IPv4 next-hop can be re-advertised to a neighbor with an IPv6 next-hop. The neighbor must be configured with the advertise-ipv6-next-hops evpn command.
A route received with an IPv6 next-hop can be re-advertised to a neighbor with an IPv4 next-hop. The no advertise-ipv6-next-hops evpn command must be configured on that neighbor.
