template
Creates a peer-group template to assign it to BGP neighbors.
Syntax
template template-name
Parameters template-name — Enter a peer-group template name (up to 16 characters).
Default Not configured
Command Mode CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP
Usage
Information
Members of a peer-group template inherit the configuration properties of the template and share the
same update policy. The no version of this command removes a peer-template configuration.
NOTE: To configure these settings for a non default VRF instance, you must first enter the
ROUTER-CONFIG-VRF sub mode using the following commands:
1. Enter the ROUTER BGP mode using the router bgp as-number command.
2. From the ROUTER BGP mode, enter the ROUTER BGP VRF mode using the vrf vrf-name
command.
Example
OS10(conf-router-bgp-10)# template solar
OS10(conf-router-bgp-template)#
