N Commands > neighbor activate

neighbor activate

Description: 

Specifies a peer or peer group with which routes of the current address family are exchanged. A peer or peer group can be activated in more than one address family. By default, a peer or peer group is activated only for the IPv4 unicast address family. The address families that are actively exchanged over a BGP session are negotiated when the session is established. The no version indicates that routes of the current address family should not be exchanged with the peer or peer group. The default version removes the explicit configuration from the peer or peer group and reestablishes inheritance of the feature configuration.

Syntax: 

[ no | default ] neighbor { ipAddress | peerGroupName } activate

• ipAddress—Neighbor's IP address
• peerGroupName—Name of a BGP peer group. If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peerGroupName argument, all the members of the peer group inherit the characteristic configured with this command, unless it is overridden for a specific peer.

Mode(s): 

Address Family Configuration, Router Configuration
