Yup. It's the same BGP implementation that you see on the E- and
C-Series, so route-maps, communities, localpref, etc...

Individually: about 90 seconds. I haven't tested the stack, but it's
probably only slightly longer, as they all boot in parrallel.

Stacking creates a single, logical unit. You can still debug based on
individual 'blades' if you will, but globally affecting commands will
still affect things globally. I guess the best way to think about the
individual switches in the stack would be as you would a linecard in a
chassis.
