AFI 1 with SAFI 74 is the correct combination. In Multiprotocol BGP, the Address Family Identifier defines the basic network-layer address family, while the Subsequent Address Family Identifier specifies how the associated NLRI is interpreted. AFI 1 represents IPv4. SAFI 74 is assigned for SD-WAN capabilities and is used to distribute information required for SD-WAN edge discovery and tunnel establishment, including transport and encapsulation-related attributes.
The other combinations represent different forms of reachability information. AFI 1/SAFI 1 is ordinary IPv4 unicast NLRI. AFI 1/SAFI 2 represents IPv4 multicast reachability. AFI 25 represents Layer 2 VPN information, while SAFI 70 represents Ethernet VPN routes; that combination is associated with EVPN rather than the specific SD-WAN capability NLRI requested.
Huawei’s architecture uses BGP-based control channels to exchange transport network port information, IPsec security-association information, and service routes. These parameters allow edge devices to determine peer endpoints and create GRE or GRE-over-IPsec data channels after the relevant service routes trigger tunnel establishment.
