This article describes that the most common address families are IPv4 and IPv6. For BGP and MPLS, it is possible to have VPN-IPV4/IPv6 as well.
Starting from v7.2.0 and v7.4.0, a new address family has been supported by the BGP: VPNv4 /VPNv6 address family.
Address family configuration tells what the supported routing information in a single BGP session is.
FortiGate v7.2.x and v7.4.x.
Starting from v7.2.0 and v7.4.0, VPN-IPv4/VPN-IPv6 are supported by default and this feature is enabled by default.
Below are the command line settings:
config router bgp
config neighbor

set activate-vpnv6 enable
If the remote BGP neighbor does not support VPNv4 and VPNv6 address family, it is necessary to disable the feature by setting it to disable:
set activate-vpnv4 disable
set activate-vpnv6 disable
