Configuring group attributes

A group is a collection of related 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.

The following example displays the BGP group configuration:

ALA-B>config>router>bgp# info
----------------------------------------------
...
            group "headquarters1"
                description "HQ execs"
                local-address 10.0.0.104
                disable-communities standard extended
                ttl-security 255
                exit
            exit
...
