A peer template can be configured with parameters that apply to many peers.
Neighbors can then be configured to inherit parameters from the peer
template. A peer template can include both session parameters and peer
policies. Peer policies are configured within an address family configuration
mode and apply only to that address family. You can configure up to 32 peer
templates. When changing a template, the change is immediately applied to
all neighbors that inherit from the template (though policy changes are
subject to a three-minute delay.)
The following commands can be issued in peer template configuration mode
and thus added to a peer template:
• address-family
• allowas-in
• connect-retry-interval
• description
• ebgp-multihop
• fall-over
• local-as
• password
• remote-as
• rfc5549-support
• shutdown
• timers
• update-source
See the associated neighbor commands for a description of parameters and
keywords. Note that Dell EMC Networking does not support a remote-as as-
number command in this mode. The neighbor’s AS number must be
specified when the neighbor is created.
