group (Protocols BGP)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

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 and can establish up to 2048 peers. Before establishing a BGP session, RPD checks for established peer count for the group. If the peer count is more than 2048 then the BGP session fails.

Options

group-name—Name of the BGP group.

The remaining statements are explained separately. See CLI Explorer.

Required Privilege Level

routing—To view this statement in the configuration.

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