Sample Configurations

The following configurations are examples for enabling BGP and setting up some peer groups. These are
not comprehensive directions. They are intended to give you a some guidance with typical configurations.
You can copy and paste from these examples to your CLI. Be sure you make the necessary changes to
support your own IP Addresses, Interfaces, Names, etc.
Figure 10-37 is a graphic illustration of the configurations shown on the following pages. These
configurations show how to create BGP areas using physical and virtual links. They include setting up the
interfaces and peers groups with each other.
