Capability-Negotiation
######################

Scenario to verify BGP **peer-group capability negotiation** features.
BGP capabilities are negotiated during session establishment to determine what features
both peers support. The ``disable-capability-negotiation`` option suppresses sending
capabilities in the OPEN message, so the peer only sees the capabilities it receives
(e.g., Graceful Restart shows as "received" only instead of "advertised and received").
The ``override-capability`` option forces session establishment even when there is a
capability mismatch between peers (e.g., one peer activates IPv6 but the other does not).
Without ``override-capability``, a peer configured with ``strict-capability-match``
will reject sessions when capabilities do not match. When configured on a peer-group,
all members inherit the capability negotiation behavior.
