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
A route reflector reflects routes to the neighbors assigned to the cluster. Neighbors in the cluster do not need not
to be fully meshed. By default, when you use no route reflector, the internal BGP (IBGP) speakers in the
network must be fully meshed.
The first time you enter this command, the router configures as a route reflector and the specified BGP neighbors
configure as clients in the route-reflector cluster.
When you remove all clients of a route reflector using the no neighbor route-reflector-client
command, the router no longer functions as a route reflector.
If the clients of a route reflector are fully meshed, you can configure the route reflector to not reflect routes to
specified clients by using the no bgp client-to-client reflection command.
Related Commands bgp client-to-client reflection — enables route reflection between the route reflector and the clients.
neighbor shutdown
Disable a BGP neighbor or peer group.
Syntax
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} shutdown
To enable a disabled neighbor or peer group, use the neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} no
shutdown command.
Parameters
ip-address Enter the IP address of the neighbor in dotted decimal format.
peer-group-name Enter the name of the peer group to disable or enable all routers within the peer group.
Defaults Enabled (that is, BGP neighbors and peer groups are disabled.)
Command Modes ROUTER BGP

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
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 shut
down, use the show ip bgp summary command to confirm its status.
Related Commands
show ip bgp summary — displays the current BGP configuration.
show ip bgp neighbors — displays the current BGP neighbors.
