Release Information

Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 11.3 for the QFX Series.

Description

Define a BGP peer group. BGP peer groups share a common type, peer autonomous system (AS) number, and cluster ID, if present. To configure multiple BGP groups, include multiple group statements.

By default, the group’s options are identical to the global BGP options. To override the global options, include group-specific options within the group statement.

The group statement is one of the statements you must include in the configuration to run BGP on the routing device.

Each group must contain at least one peer.

Options

group-name—Name of the BGP group.

The remaining statements are explained separately.

Required Privilege Level

routing—To view this statement in the configuration.

routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
