ok, here is part of a config below. if you look @ neighbor 128.1.0.1, my
input was as follows
router bgp 100
neighbor 128.1.0.1 remote 100
address-family ipvt
neighbor 128.1.0.1 activate

the result to the running config is as follows:

router bgp 100
no synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
neighbor 2001:128:1:0:250:73FF:FE5D:F5C1 remote-as 100
neighbor 54.1.1.254 remote-as 54
neighbor 128.1.0.1 remote-as 100
no auto-summary
!
address-family ipv4 multicast
no auto-summary
no synchronization
exit-address-family
!
address-family ipv6
neighbor 2001:128:1:0:250:73FF:FE5D:F5C1 activate
neighbor 54.1.1.254 activate
exit-address-family
!
address-family ipv4
no neighbor 2001:128:1:0:250:73FF:FE5D:F5C1 activate
neighbor 54.1.1.254 activate
neighbor 128.1.0.1 activate
no auto-summary
no synchronization
exit-address-family
