BGP peer-group

Share this page:

It’s a simple concept, just a group of neighbors we want to configure with the same group of parameters. It’s defined in 3 steps:

1. Define/Configure the Peer Group

** (config-router)#neighbor CISQUEROS peer-group **

2. Add the individual neighbors into the configured peer group
** (config-router)#neighbor 2.2.2.2 peer-group CISQUEROS**
** (config-router)#NEIghbor 3.3.3.3 PEER-group CISQUEROS**

Expect the following message:
*May  5 10:13:21.395: %BGP_SESSION-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor 3.3.3.3 IPv4 Unicast topology base removed from session  Member added to peergroup
*May  5 10:13:21.395: %BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor 3.3.3.3 Down Member added to peergroup
***May  5 10:13:22.283: %BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor 3.3.3.3 Up **

Both neighbors remain UP!

3. Apply the set of parameters to the Peer Group, and the parameters will apply to each of the Peers. For example, lets configure the Password:

** (config-router)#neighbor CISQUEROS password cisco**
