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.
