The Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) controls how gateways on neighboring
autonomous systems exchange routing information; it tells an IP network device
about the reachability of other IP networks. It does not provide the entire route;
but merely indicates the route a datagram would need to follow to reach a given
network.
To open the EGP Group window from the System Group window:
1. Click the Other Groups button. The Other Groups drop-down menu displays.
2. Click EGP Group. The EGP Group window, Figure12-1, opens.
