# neighbor shutdown

#### Syntax

[ no | default ] neighbor { ipAddress | ipv6Address | peerGroupName } shutdown

#### Release Information

Command introduced before JunosE Release 7.1.0.
ipv6Address variable added in JunosE Release 8.0.0.

#### Description

Shuts down the specified neighbor or peer group without removing the neighbor or peer group configuration. The no version reenables a neighbor or peer group that was previously shut down. The default version removes the explicit configuration from the peer or peer group and reestablishes inheritance of the feature configuration.

#### Options

- ipAddress—IP address of BGP neighbor
- ipv6Address—IPv6 address of BGP neighbor
- 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

Address Family Configuration, Router Configuration
