Creating a Mixed EBGP Peer Group

If multiple EBGP peers exist in different ASs, adding them to a mixed EBGP peer group can simplify the BGP network configuration and management. When creating a mixed EBGP peer group, you need to specify an AS number for each peer.

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 mixed EBGP peer group is created.

  4. Run peer ipv4-address as-number as-number

    A peer is created and an AS number is set for this peer.

  5. Run peer ipv4-address group group-name

    The peer is added to the peer group.

    You can repeat Steps 4 and 5 to add multiple peers to the peer group.

    You need to specify an AS number for each peer in a mixed EBGP 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

    The description of the peer group is configured.

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

  7. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
