neighbor route-reflector-client
neighbor send-community
A neighbor may keep its configuration after it was added to a peer group if the neighbors configuration is
more specific than the peer groups, and the neighbors configuration does not affect outgoing updates.
A peer group must exist before you add a peer to it. If the peer group is disabled (shutdown), the peers
within the group are also disabled (shutdown).
