Deleting a neighbor

To delete a neighbor, you must shut down the neighbor before issuing the no neighbor ip-address command.

Use the following CLI syntax to delete a neighbor.

CLI syntax

config>router# bgp
group name
  no neighbor ip-address
  shutdown
    no peer-as asn
    shutdown

Example

config>router# bgp
config>router>bgp# group headquarters1
config>router>bgp>group# neighbor 10.0.0.103
config>router>bgp>group>neighbor# shutdown
config>router>bgp>group>neighbor# exit
config>router>bgp>group# no neighbor 10.0.0.103

The following example displays the ‟headquarters1” configuration with the neighbor 10.0.0.103 removed.

ALA-B>config>router>bgp# info

            group "headquarters1"

                neighbor 10.0.0.5
                    passive
                    peer-as 300
                exit
