Use this command to bring down the adjacency with a specific neighbor. If the adjacency is up when the command is given, the peering session is dropped and all route information learned from the neighbor is purged.
When a neighbor is shut down, BGP first sends a NOTIFICATION message with a Cease error code. When an adjacency is administratively shut down, the adjacency stays down until administratively re-enabled (using the no neighbor shutdown (IPv4 VRF Address Family Config) command below).
Issue this command in Peer Template Configuration Mode to add it to a peer template.
| Default | Neighbors are not shutdown by default. |
| Format | neighbor {ipv4-address | autodetect interface interface-name } shutdown |
| Mode | IPv4 VRF Address Family Config |
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| ipv4-address | The neighbor's IPv4 address on the link that connects the two peers. |
| autodetect interface interface-name | The routing interface on which the neighbor's link local IPv6 address is auto-detected. |
