Configuring neighbor attributes

After you create a group name and assign options, add neighbors within the same autonomous system to create IBGP connections and 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.

Example

The following is a sample output for neighbors configured in group ‟headquarters1”.
