If peers in an EBGP group belong to the same external AS, the EBGP peer group is a pure EBGP
peer group. If not, it is a mixed EBGP peer group.
Use one of the following approaches to configure an EBGP peer group:
{ Approach 1—Create an EBGP peer group, specify its AS number, and add peers into it. All the
added peers have the same AS number. You can specify an AS number for a peer before
adding it into the peer group. The AS number must be the same as that of the peer group. All
peers in the peer group have the same AS number as the peer group.
{ Approach 2—Create an EBGP peer group, specify an AS number for a peer, and add the peer
into the peer group. Peers added in the group can have different AS numbers.
{ Approach 3—Create an EBGP peer group and add a peer with an AS number into it. Peers
added in the group can have different AS numbers.
To configure an EBGP peer group by using Approach 1:
