**To create an IPv6 BGP peering session**

The following example creates an IPv6 BGP peering session on private virtual interface ``dxvif-fg1vuj3d``. The peer IPv6 addresses are automatically allocated by Amazon.

Command::

  aws directconnect create-bgp-peer --virtual-interface-id dxvif-fg1vuj3d --new-bgp-peer asn=64600,addressFamily=ipv6
  
Output::
