Dell Force10 Z9000 - Neighbor Peer-Group (Creating Group); Neighbor Peer-Group Passive

A neighbor may keep its configuration after it was added to a peer group if the neighbor’s
configuration is more specific than the peer group’s, and the neighbor’s configuration does not
affect outgoing updates.
A peer group must exist before you add a peer to it. If the peer group is disabled (shutdown),
the peers within the group are also disabled (shutdown).
