Shutdown

This scenario demonstrates how to administratively disable a BGP neighbor session using the shutdown command. When shutdown is configured, the BGP session is closed but the configuration is preserved, allowing for easy reactivation.

Test iBGP - Neighbor shutdown

Description

Test to verify that the shutdown command disables a BGP neighbor session. First establishes an iBGP session and verifies route exchange, then applies shutdown and verifies the session is no longer established.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.10.0.100/24
set protocols bgp 20 neighbor peer remote-address 10.10.0.200
set protocols bgp 20 neighbor peer remote-as 20
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

set interfaces dummy dum0 address 1.1.1.1/24
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.10.0.200/24
set protocols bgp 20 neighbor peer remote-address 10.10.0.100
set protocols bgp 20 neighbor peer remote-as 20
set protocols bgp 20 redistribute connected
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Attention

Verify iBGP session establishes and route is received.

Step 3: Run command protocols bgp show ip summary at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

10.10.0.200.*Established
Show output
IPv4 Unicast Summary:
BGP router identifier 10.10.0.100, local AS number 20 VRF default vrf-id 0

Step 4: Run command protocols bgp show ip at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

Displayed 2 routes and 2 total paths

Attention

Apply shutdown on DUT0 neighbor to administratively disable the session.

Step 5: Modify the following configuration lines in DUT0 :

set protocols bgp 20 neighbor peer shutdown

Note

Verify that DUT0 BGP session shows Idle (Admin) after shutdown.

Step 6: Run command protocols bgp show ip summary at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

10.10.0.200.*Idle \(Admin\)
Show output
IPv4 Unicast Summary:
BGP router identifier 10.10.0.100, local AS number 20 VRF default vrf-id 0
BGP table version 4
RIB entries 0, using 0 bytes of memory
Peers 1, using 24 KiB of memory

Neighbor        LocalAddr       V         AS   MsgRcvd   MsgSent   TblVer  InQ OutQ  Up/Down        State   PfxRcd   PfxSnt Desc

Total number of neighbors 1

Attention

Verify that DUT0 no longer has route 1.1.1.0/24 from DUT1.

Step 7: Run command protocols bgp show ip at DUT0 and check if output does not match the following regular expressions:

1.1.1.0/24
Show output
No BGP prefixes displayed, 0 exist
