To disable a peer group, use the neighbor peer-group-name shutdown command in the CONFIGURATION
ROUTER BGP mode. The configuration of the peer group is maintained, but it is not applied to the peer
group members. When you disable a peer group, all the peers within the peer group that are in
ESTABLISHED state are moved to IDLE state.
Use the show
ip bgp peer-group command in EXEC Privilege mode as shown in the following example to
view the status of peer groups.
FTOS>show ip bgp peer-group
