It's late, and you're going mad.

That's not what you're doing with that command.

neig cirrus-eq peer-group, before all of the rest.  You have to create 
the peer-group before you can apply any parameters to it, and neig 
58.96.x.x peer-group cirrus-eq doesn't create the peer group, just adds 
a neighbor to the peer-group (which hasn't been created yet).

By the way, probably a missed "x-out", but your peer-group name doesn't 
match all the way through: 'x-eq' vs. 'cirrus-eq'.
