This parameter specifies the IPspace of the peer group being modified.

This parameter specifies the name of the peer group being modified.

This parameter specifies an updated value for the IP address of the peer router.

This parameter specifies whether the peer group uses the peer address as a next hop route. When the value is true, the peer address is used as the next hop router for packets sent from VIP LIFs via the port on which bgp-lif is configured. Internally, a default route with a gateway configured as the peer-address is added automatically on the node for all the Vservers in this peer group's IPspace. The route will be added for a Vserver only if it has a VIP LIF hosted on the current node of bgp-lif . Note that these automatically installed default routes are for VIP traffic; however, they can be used for non-VIP traffic as well if a Vserver hosts both VIP and non-VIP LIFs in the same subnet as bgp-lif . This route will have metric of 20 and will be used to forward traffic through the current port of bgp-lif . The default value of this parameter is false.

This parameter specifies whether the peer group configuration uses TCP MD5 authentication to communicate with its peer router. When the value is true, an md5-secret must be specified for the peer group being created. The default value is false.

This parameter specifies TCP MD5 secret key. The value for md5-secret may be specified as either a string of printable ASCII characters or as a hexadecimal string. If a string of ASCII characters is specified, the string should be enclosed in quotes and be from 1-79 characters in length. If a hexadecimal string is specified, the string of hexadecimal bytes should be prefaced with 0x (e.g., 0x893785c6) and contain from 2-160 hexadecimal characters. The md5-secret should match the MD5 secret configured on the peer router.
