Usage

Information

You can assign up to 64 peers to one peer group.

When you add a peer to a peer group, it inherits all the peer group’s configured parameters. A peer

cannot become part of a peer group if any of the following commands are configured on the peer:

● neighbor advertisement-interval

● neighbor distribute-list

● neighbor filter-list

● neighbor next-hop-self

● neighbor route-map

● neighbor route-reflector-client

● neighbor send-community

A neighbor may keep its configuration after it was added to a peer group if the neighbor’s configuration is

more specific than the peer group’s and the neighbor’s 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).

Commands

capture bgp-pdu max-buffer-size — resets BGP sessions.

neighbor peer-group (creating group) — creates a peer group.

show ip bgp ipv6 unicast peer-group — views BGP peers.

show ip bgp ipv6 unicast neighbors — views BGP neighbors configurations.

neighbor peer-group (creating group)

Allows you to create a peer group and assign it a name.

Syntax

neighbor peer-group-name peer-group

To delete a peer group, use the no neighbor peer-group-name peer-group command.
