Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure this task, you must make peering nodes accessible to each other at the network
layer.
Configuring ipv4 MBGP peer groups
In a large-scale network, configuration and maintenance become difficult due to large numbers of MBGP
peers. You can configure peer groups to make management easier and improve route distribution
efficiency.
To configure an MBGP peer group, you must enable the corresponding IPv4 BGP unicast peer group in
IPv4 MBGP address family view.
Before adding an MBGP peer to an MBGP peer group, you must add the corresponding IPv4 unicast
peer to the IPv4 BGP peer group.
