Configure BGP to protect an
EBGP peer or peer group

when the memory usage
reaches level 2 threshold.

peer { group-name | ip-address
[ mask-length ] }
low-memory-exempt

By default, BGP periodically tears
down an EBGP session to release

memory resources when level 2

threshold is reached.

Configuring a large-scale BGP network

In a large network, the number of BGP connections is huge and BGP configuration and maintenance are

complicated. To simply BGP configuration, you can use the peer group, community, route reflector, and

confederation features as needed. For more information about configuring peer groups, see

"

Configuring a BGP peer group

."

Configuring BGP community

By default, a router does not advertise the COMMUNITY or extended community attribute to its peers or
peer groups. When the router receives a route carrying the COMMUNITY or extended community

attribute, it removes the attribute before advertising the route to other peers or peer groups.
Perform this task to enable a router to advertise the COMMUNITY or extended community attribute to its

peers for route filtering and control. You can also reference a routing policy to add or modify the
COMMUNITY or extended community attribute for specific routes. For more information about routing

policy, see "

Configuring routing policies
