Summary

This proposal describes BGP unnumbered support over VLAN subinterfaces by allowing IPv6 link-local-only operation on VLAN subinterfaces and accepting both canonical and short subinterface names.

Motivation

BGP unnumbered is commonly used for point-to-point routing adjacencies. VLAN subinterfaces should be able to use the same link-local behavior as routed interfaces, with consistent configuration, neighbor synchronization, CLI output, and validation.

Scope

  • Document the expected configuration and operational behavior.
  • Describe the CLI/YANG, neighbor sync, and routing test coverage.
  • Keep implementation changes split by component.

Related PRs

Validation

  • git diff --check upstream/master..HEAD
  • Reviewed the diff for unintended references.

@michaeloso Yes, 202611 remains the target. Apologies for the stale status here.

Current component status:

I am continuing the remaining component updates. Final inclusion in 202611 depends on getting the outstanding SONiC PRs reviewed and merged in time, and I will keep this HLD updated as they land.
