Add Neighbors to a BGP Peer Group

To create a new neighbor and add it to a BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) peer group, use the following command:
create bgp neighbor remoteaddr peer-group peer-group-name {multi-hop}

The new neighbor is created as part of the peer group and inherits all of the existing parameters of the peer group. The peer group must have remote AS configured.
To add an existing neighbor to a peer group, use the following command:
configure bgp neighbor [all | remoteaddr] peer-group [peer-group-name | none] {acquire-all}

If you do not specify the acquire-all option, only the mandatory parameters are inherited from the peer group. If you specify the acquire-all option, all of the parameters of the peer group are inherited. This command disables the neighbor before adding it to the peer group.

To remove a neighbor from a peer group, use the peer-group none option.

When you remove a neighbor from a peer group, the neighbor retains the parameter settings of the group. The parameter values are not reset to those the neighbor had before it inherited the peer group values.
