group-name: Specifies a name for the peer group, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 47 characters.
external: Creates an EBGP peer group.
internal: Creates an IBGP peer group.
Usage guidelines
In a large-scale network, many peers can use the same route selection policy. You can configure a peer group and add these peers into this group. In this way, peers can share the same policy as the peer group. When the policy of the group is modified, the modification also applies to peers in it.
If you do not specify the internal or external keyword, this command creates an IBGP peer group.
If you perform configurations on a peer group and peers of the peer group, the most recent configuration takes effect.
After you create a peer group, you must use the peer enable command to enable BGP to exchange routing information with the specified peer group.
Examples
# In BGP instance view, create EBGP peer group test with AS number 200, and add EBGP peers 10.1.1.1 and 10.1.2.1 into the group.
