Step 2 Run:
bgp as-number
The BGP view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
group group-name external
A pure EBGP peer group is created.
Step 4 Run:
peer group-name as-number as-number
An AS number is set for the EBGP peer group. If peers already exist in a peer group, you can
neither change the AS number of the peer group nor delete the AS number of the peer group by
using the undo peer as-number command.
Step 5 Run:
peer ipv4-address group group-name
A peer is added to the peer group.
After configuring a peer group, you can configure BGP functions for the peer group. By default,
all peers in a peer group inherit the entire configuration of the peer group. The inherited
configuration can be overridden if you directly configure commands for the peer.

7.8.4 Creating Mixed EBGP Peer Groups

If multiple EBGP peers exist in different ASs, adding them to a mixed EBGP peer group can
simplify the BGP network configuration and management. When creating a mixed EBGP peer
group, you need to specify an AS number for each peer.

NOTE
You can repeat step 5 to add multiple peers to the peer group. If the local device has not established a peer
relationship with this peer, the device will attempt to establish a peer relationship with this peer, and set
the AS number of this peer to the AS number of the peer group.
