Usage
Information
You can assign up to 256 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 route-map
● neighbor route-reflector-client
if a neighbor’s configuration is more specific than its peer group’s configuration, the neighbor may retain
its configuration after it is added to the peer group. The neighbor’s configuration does not affect outgoing
updates.
A peer group must exist (be enabled) before you add a peer to it. If the peer group is disabled
(shutdown), the peers within that group are also disabled (shutdown).
In BGP, you cannot associate a peer to a peer-group without configuring the remote-as for Internal BGP
(IBGP) or External BGP (EBGP).
This command automatically restarts the neighbor session for the configuration to take effect.
