Peer policy template POLICY-TEMPLATE-TWO is processed second because it has the next highest
sequence number. It inherits the configuration from peer policy template POLICY-TEMPLATE-ONE
and applies a weight of 1000. However, this template is also configured to apply a weight of 2000. So
the value of 2000 will overwrite the value inherited from peer policy template
POLICY-TEMPLATE-ONE.

Finally, peer policy template POLICY-TEMPLATE-THREE inherits the configurations from peer policy
template ONE and TWO. But because peer policy template POLICY-TEMPLATE-THREE is also
configured to apply a weight, the weight of 3000 overwrites the weight value of 2000 that was inherited
from peer policy template POLICY-TEMPLATE-TWO.

The directly applied peer policy template and the inherit statement with the highest sequence number
will always have priority and be applied last. Commands that are reapplied in subsequent peer templates
will always overwrite the previous values. This behavior is designed to allow you to apply common
policy configurations to large neighbor groups and specific policy configurations only to certain
neighbors and neighbor groups without duplicating individual policy configuration commands.

Peer policy templates support only policy configuration commands. BGP policy configuration
commands that are configured only for specific address families or NLRI configuration modes are
configured with peer policy templates.
