Configuring VPRN BGP group and neighbor parameters

A group is a collection of related VPRN BGP peers. The group name should be a descriptive name for the group. Follow your group, name, and ID naming conventions for consistency and to help when troubleshooting faults.

All parameters configured for a peer group are applied to the group and are inherited by each peer (neighbor), but a group parameter can be overridden on a specific neighbor-level basis.

After a group name is created and options are configured, neighbors can be added within the same autonomous system to create IBGP connections and/or neighbors in different autonomous systems to create EBGP peers. All parameters configured for the peer group level are applied to each neighbor, but a group parameter can be overridden on a specific neighbor basis.

Use the CLI syntax to configure VPRN BGP parameters (BGP Configuration Commands on page 691).

The following is a sample VPRN BGP configuration output.
