template peer

To create a BGP peer template and enter Peer Template Configuration mode, use the template peer command in Router Configuration mode. A peer template can be configured with parameters that apply to many peers. Neighbors can then be configured to inherit parameters from the peer template. A peer template can include both session parameters and peer policies. Peer policies are configured with an address family configuration mode and apply only to that address family. You can configure up to 32 peer templates. When you make a change to a template, the change is immediately applied to all neighbors that inherit from the template (although policy changes are subject to a three-minute delay).

Note: LCOS SX does not support a remote-as as-number command in Peer Template Configuration mode. The neighbor's AS number must be specified when the neighbor is created.

Default	No peer templates are configured by default.
Format	`template peer name`
Mode	BGP Router Config

Parameter	Description
name	The name of the template. The name may be no more than 32 characters.

Example: The following shows an example of the command.
