9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information
Peers that are enabled within a peer group are disabled when their peer group is disabled.
The neighbor shutdown command terminates all BGP sessions on the BGP neighbor or BGP peer group. Use
this command with caution as it terminates the specied BGP sessions. When a neighbor or peer group is shut
down, use the show ip bgp summary command to conrm its status.

Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information
This command enables soft-reconguration for the BGP neighbor specied. BGP stores all the updates the
neighbor receives but does not reset the peer-session.
CAUTION: Inbound update storage is a memory-intensive operation. The entire BGP update database
from the neighbor is stored in memory regardless of the inbound policy results applied on the neighbor.
