## AI overview

This BGP lab introduces policy templates, which some BGP implementations use to apply consistent routing policy parameters to an EBGP neighbor. The exercise follows an earlier lab on session templates for common TCP and BGP session parameters.

## Source excerpt

One of the previous BGP labs explained how you can use session templates to configure common TCP or BGP session parameters. Some BGP implementations have another templating mechanism: policy templates that you can use to apply consistent routing policy parameters to an EBGP neighbor. You can practice them in the next BGP lab exercise.
