neighbor enable

This command enables a BGP peer.

Syntax

neighbor ip-address enable
no neighbor ip-address enable

Parameters

ip-address A BGP peer specified as a valid IPv4 address in dotted-quad format or as a valid IPv6 address in colon-separated format.

Defaults

None.

Mode

BGP Router Configuration.

Usage

A configured BGP peer is enabled by default. Use this command to administratively enable or disable a peer. The neighbor enable command explicitly enables a BGP peer that has been administratively disabled.

The no neighbor enable command explicitly disables a peering session. Configuration is retained when disabling a peering session using the no neighbor enable command.

Example

The following example enables BGP for peer 125.50.25.5:

System(su-config)->router bgp 65151
System(su-config-bgp)->neighbor 125.50.25.5 enable
