Configuring BGP Peers
You can configure a BGP peer within a BGP process. Each BGP peer has an associated keepalive timer and hold timers. You can set these timers either globally or for each BGP peer. A peer configuration overrides a global configuration.
Note You must configure the address family under neighbor configuration mode for each peer.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ensure that you have enabled the BGP feature (see the “Enabling the BGP Feature” section).
