Delete a peer undo peer peer-address
If you want to add a peer to an IBGP peer group, this command cannot specify AS
numbers.

number, all its member peers inherits the configuration of the group. If the AS number of
the peer group is not specified, each peer added to it should be specified with its own
AS number. AS numbers of peers in a same peer group can be different.
IV. Configuring the state of a peer/peer group BGP peer/peer group has two types of state: enabled and disabled. The BGP speakers

When exchanging routing information between BGP speakers, the peer group must be
enabled first and then the peer should be added to the enabled peer group.
