Class CIM_BGPPeerGroup
extends CIM_CollectionOfMSEs

A BGP Peer Group is a set of BGP neighbors that share the same update policies. This enables an administrator to assign policies to the peer group, instead of individually. This enables the routers in the Peer Group to optimize UPDATE messages. Consequently, Peer Groups have a set of restrictions that must be followed in order to work correctly with external BGP peers. Otherwise, loss of routing information could occur. A BGPPeerGroup is weak to the AutonomousSystem that contains it. Therefore, the keys from System must be propagated to it.

HoldTimeConfigureduint16
DescriptionstringThis defines the time interval in seconds for the Hold Time configured for this BGP speaker with a peer. This value is placed in an OPEN message sent to a peer by this BGP speaker, and is compared with the Hold Time field in the OPEN message received from the peer. This enables this speaker to establish a mutually agreeable Hold Time with the peer. This value must not be less than three seconds. If it is zero, then the Hold Time is NOT to be established with the peer. The suggestedvalue for this timer is 90 seconds.None TRANSLATABLE= true

UnitsstringSecondsNone TRANSLATABLE= true
KeepAliveConfigureduint16
DescriptionstringThis defines the time interval in seconds for the KeepAlive timer configured for this BGP speaker with a peer. This value will determine the frequency of the KEEPALIVE messages relative to the value of the HoldTimeConfigured property; the actual frequency is specified by the value of the KeepAlive property. A reasonable value is one third of that of the value of the HoldTimeConfigured property. If it is zero, then NO periodic KEEPALIVE messages are sent to the peer. The suggested value for this property is 30 seconds. The maximum value of this property is 21845 seconds.None TRANSLATABLE= true
