peer BasePeer
Step 12

switch(config-router-neighbor-af)# show
bgp peer-template BasePeer
Step 14

Use the show bgp neighbor command to see the template applied. See the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series
NX-OS Unicast Routing Command Reference for details on all commands available in the template.
This example shows how to configure a BGP peer template and apply it to a BGP peer:
switch# config t
switch(config)# router bgp 65536
switch(config-router)# template peer BasePeer
switch(config-router-neighbor)# inherit peer-session BaseSession
switch(config-router-neighbor)# address-family ipv4 unicast
switch(config-router-neighbor-af)# inherit peer-policy BasePolicy 1
switch(config-router-neighbor-af)# exit
switch(config-router-neighbor)# exit
switch(config-router)# neighbor 192.168.1.2 remote-as 65536
switch(config-router-neighbor)# inherit peer BasePeer
switch(config-router-neighbor)# copy running-config startup-config
