Peer templates for a nondefault VRF instance
You can create peer templates to add multiple neighbors at a time to the nondefault VRF instance that you create.
1. Enable BGP, and assign the AS number to the local BGP speaker in CONFIGURATION mode, from 1 to 65535 for 2 bytes, 1
to 4294967295 | 0.1 to 65535.65535 for 4 bytes, or 0.1 to 65535.65535, in dotted format.
router bgp as-number
2. Enter CONFIG-ROUTER-VRF mode to create a peer template for the nondefault VRF instance that you create.
vrf vrf-name
3. Create a peer template by assigning a neighborhood name to it in CONFIG-ROUTER-VRF mode.
template template-name
4. Add a neighbor as a remote AS in ROUTER-TEMPLATE mode, from 1 to 65535 for 2 bytes, 1 to 4294967295 | 0.1 to
65535.65535 for 4 bytes, or 0.1 to 65535.65535, in dotted format.
neighbor ip-address
5. Add a remote neighbor, and enter the AS number in ROUTER-TEMPLATE mode.
remote-as as-number
● To add an EBGP neighbor, configure the as-number parameter with a number different from the BGP as-number
configured in the router bgp as-number command.
● To add an IBGP neighbor, configure the as-number parameter with the same BGP as-number configured in the
router bgp as-number command.
6. (Optional) Add a text description for the template in ROUTER-TEMPLATE mode.

7. Assign a peer-template with a peer-group name from which to inherit to the neighbor in ROUTER-NEIGHBOR mode.
inherit template template-name
8. Enable the neighbor in ROUTER-BGP mode.
neighbor ip-address
9. Enable the peer-group in ROUTER-NEIGHBOR mode.
no shutdown
A neighbor may keep its configuration after it is added to a peer group if the neighbor configuration is more specific than the
peer group and if the neighbor configuration does not affect outgoing updates.
To display the peer-group configuration that is assigned to a BGP neighbor, use the show ip bgp peer-group peer-
group-name command. The show ip bgp neighbor command output does not display peer-group configurations.
Configure peer templates
OS10(config)# router bgp 300
OS10(config-router-bgp-300) vrf blue
OS10(config-router-vrf)# template ebgppg
