Neighbor Configuration Mode
The following example shows how to enter neighbor configuration mode:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#
router bgp 140
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)#
neighbor 10.0.0.1

Neighbor Address Family Configuration Mode
The following example shows how to enter neighbor address family configuration mode:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#
router bgp 112
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)#
neighbor 10.0.0.1

Neighbor Submode
Cisco IOS XR BGP uses a neighbor submode to make it possible to enter configurations without having to
prefix every configuration with the
neighbor
keyword and the neighbor address:
• Cisco IOS XR software has a submode available for neighbors in which it is not necessary for every
command to have a “neighbor
x
.
x
.
x
.
x
” prefix:
In Cisco IOS XR software, the configuration is as follows:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)#
neighbor 192.23.1.2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)#
remote-as 2002
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)#
address-family ipv4 unicast
• An address family configuration submode inside the neighbor configuration submode is available for
entering address family-specific neighbor configurations. In Cisco IOS XR software, the configuration
is as follows:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)#
neighbor 2002::2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)#
remote-as 2023
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)#

Configuration Templates
The
af-group
,
session-group
, and
neighbor-group
configuration commands provide template support for
the neighbor configuration in Cisco IOS XR software.
The
af-group
command is used to group address family-specific neighbor commands within an IPv4, IPv6,
address family. Neighbors that have the same address family configuration are able to use the address family
group (af-group) name for their address family-specific configuration. A neighbor inherits the configuration
