Configuring BGP Session Templates
You can use BGP session templates to simplify BGP configuration for multiple BGP peers with similar
configuration needs. BGP templates allow you to reuse common configuration blocks. You configure
BGP templates first, and then apply these templates to BGP peers.
With BGP session templates, you can configure session attributes such as inheritance, passwords, timers,
and security.
A peer-session template can inherit from one other peer-session template. You can configure the second
template to inherit from a third template. The first template also inherits this third template. This indirect
inheritance can continue for up to seven peer-session templates.
Any attributes configured for the neighbor take priority over any attributes inherited by that neighbor
from a BGP template.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ensure that you have enabled the BGP feature (see the “Enabling the BGP Feature” section on
page 5-11).
