Refer to the exhibit. A network engineer configured R1 and R2 using MP-BGP. The engineer noticed that the routers cannot exchange IPv6 routes; however, the IPv4 neighbor relationship is working properly.

Which configuration must the engineer apply to R2 to exchange IPv6 routes?

Explanation

MP-BGP handles each address family independently. To exchange IPv6 prefixes, the BGP neighbor must be activated under the IPv6 address family with neighbor 2001:DB8:1::1 activate. IPv6 unicast routing must also be enabled. Cisco documentation specifies that exchanging IPv6 prefixes requires neighbor activate in address-family configuration mode.
