Hi, as I have understood, graceful way to disable BGP peer under IOS is to execute "neighbor <IP address> remote-as <ASN> shutdown" command under "router bgp <ASN>" configuration. I made such simple setup for testing this: http://i.imgur.com/phzvY.png In case I execute "neighbor 10.10.10.68 remote-as 65002 shutdown" in "Cisco_R2" I can see in "Cisco_R1" log(logging buffered 32000 informational) following log entry:
*Sep 17 16:14:18.744: %BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor 10.10.10.69 Down Peer closed the session This nicely indicates that other peer closed the session. Am I correct that in case I execute "neighbor 10.10.10.68 remote-as 65002 shutdown", the 10.10.10.69 router sends BGP cease(explained here: http://www.net-gyver.com/?p=1241) message to 10.10.10.68? For some reason I was not able to detect those messages even with "debug ip bgp all" running both in "Cisco_R1" and "Cisco_R2". Any ideas why? In addition, is it somehow possible to manually specify which cease code to send? For example one would like to send Cease 6/3(peer de-configured) to a BGP neighbor- is this possible? regards, martin _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
