Creating a Pure EBGP Peer Group

Procedure

1. Run system-view

   The system view is displayed.

2. Run bgp as-number

   The BGP view is displayed.

3. Run group group-name external

   A pure EBGP peer group is created.

4. Run peer group-name as-number as-number

   An AS number is configured for the peer group.

   If peers already exist in a peer group, the AS number of the peer group cannot be changed.

5. Run peer ipv4-address group group-name

   A peer is added to the peer group.

   

   You can repeat step 5 to add multiple peers to the peer group. If the local device has not established a peer relationship with this peer, the device will attempt to establish a peer relationship with this peer, and set the AS number of this peer to the AS number of the peer group.

   After configuring a peer group, you can configure BGP functions for the peer group. By default, all peers in a peer group inherit the entire configuration of the peer group. If you configure a peer in a peer group independently. The configuration of this peer will override the configuration that the peer has inherited from the peer group.

6. (Optional) Run peer group-name description description-text

   A description is configured for the peer group.

   You can simplify network management by configuring the descriptions of peers.

7. Run commit

   The configuration is committed.
