A BGP speaker does not discover another BGP speaker automatically. You must configure the relationships between BGP speakers. A BGP peer is a BGP speaker that has an active TCP connection to another BGP speaker.
I agree AD is correct, but a BGP peer group is different from a BGP peer.
A BGP peer can just be configured directly as a BGP neighbor, with no group needed. That’s what your source is talking about.
Peer grouping lets you set up common configuration once, and that config will be shared amongst members of the group.
It’s a time-saver and organizational tool. If you just have a BGP peer or two, it’s probably not worthwhile, but if you’re got a zillion BGP peers…
