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 router. See Minimum BGP Configuration.

Options

group-name—Name of the BGP group.

The remaining statements within the group statement are explained separately in this chapter.

Usage Guidelines

See Define BGP Groups and Peers.

Required Privilege Level

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