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.
