set protocols bgp neighbor shutdown

The set protocols bgp neighbor shutdown command disables the peer session, terminates any active session for the specified neighbor or peer group, and removes all associated routing information. This action can cause the sudden termination of many peering sessions.

The delete protocols bgp neighbor shutdown command enables the peer session for the specified neighbor.

Command Syntax

set protocols bgp [vrf <vrf-name>] {neighbor <ip>| peer-group <peer-group> | interface <interface>} shutdown

delete protocols bgp [vrf <vrf-name>] {neighbor <ip>| peer-group <peer-group> | interface <interface>} shutdown

Parameter

Parameter	Description
vrf <vrf-name>	Optional. Specifies a VRF name. The value is a string. It’s a user-defined VRF set by the command set ip vrf <vrf-name> [description <string>].
neighbor <ip>	Specifies the IPv4/IPv6 address of a peer.
peer-group <peer-group>	Specifies a peer group.
interface <interface>	Specifies an L3 interface for BGP connection. The value could be a VLAN interface name, loopback interface name, routed interface or sub-interface name.

Usage Guidelines
Sessions are gracefully shut down when graceful-shutdown is enabled. Use the set protocols bgp graceful-shutdown command to enable graceful-shutdown. If graceful-shutdown is configured without delay or localpreference, the default values are used.

Example
• This example disables the peer session for the specified neighbor.
