Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The peer description can be used to configure a description for a peer, which facilitates management of peers or peer groups. The description records information about the peer, such as the VPN instance to which the peer belongs, and devices that establish peer relationships with the peer.

Implementation Procedure

The description configured by using the peer description command for a peer is displayed from the first non-space character.

Configuration Impact

If the peer description command is run multiple times to configure a description for a peer, the latest configuration overwrites the previous one.

Follow-up Procedure

Run the display bgp peer verbose command to view the description of a peer configured using the peer description command.

Example

# Configure a description for a peer.

[~HUAWEI] bgp 100
[*HUAWEI-bgp] peer 10.1.1.1 as-number 200
[*HUAWEI-bgp] peer 10.1.1.1 description ISP1
