Example of Soft-Recongration of a BGP Neighbor
The example enables inbound soft reconguration for the neighbor 10.108.1.1. All updates received from this neighbor are stored unmodied,
regardless of the inbound policy. When inbound soft reconguration is done later, the stored information is used to generate a new set of
inbound updates.

Enabling or disabling BGP neighbors
You can enable or disable all the congured BGP neighbors using the shutdown all command in ROUTER BGP mode.
To disable all the congured BGP neighbors:
1 Enter the router bgp mode using the following command:
CONFIGURATION Mode
router bgp as-number
2 In ROUTER BGP mode, enter the following command:
ROUTER BGP Mode
shutdown all
You can use the no shutdown all command in the ROUTER BGP mode to re-enable all the BGP interface.
You can also enable or disable BGP neighbors corresponding to the IPv4 unicast or multicast groups and the IPv6 unicast groups.
To enable or disable BGP neighbors corresponding to the IPv4 unicast groups:
1 Enter the router bgp mode using the following command:
CONFIGURATION Mode
router bgp as-number
2 Shut down the BGP neighbors corresponding to the IPv4 unicast groups using the following command:
shutdown address-family-ipv4-unicast
To enable or disable BGP neighbors corresponding to IPv4 multicast groups:
1 Enter the router bgp mode using the following command:
CONFIGURATION Mode
router bgp as-number
2 Shut down the BGP neighbors corresponding to IPv4 multicast groups using the following command:
ROUTER-BGP Mode
shutdown address-family-ipv4-multicast
To enable or disable BGP neighbors corresponding to the IPv6 unicast groups:
1 Enter the router bgp mode using the following command:
CONFIGURATION Mode
router bgp as-number
2 Shut down the BGP neighbors corresponding to the IPv6 unicast groups using the following command:
ROUTER-BGP Mode
shutdown address-family-ipv6-unicast
