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 specified BGP sessions. When a neighbor or
peer group is shutdown, use the show ip bgp ipv6 unicast summary command to confirm its
status.
