Stops and removes a Layer 3 protocol instance for a VR or VRF.
| vr-name | Specifies the name of the VR. |
| protocol-name | Specifies the Layer 3 protocol. The following protocols are supported on VRs: RIP, RIPng, OSPF, OSPFv3, BGP, PIM. IS-IS, and MPLS. The following protocols are supported on VRFs: BGP, OSPFv3. |
N/A.
MPLS is the only protocol that you can add to or delete from VR-Default. When MPLS is enabled on a switch, the default configuration adds MPLS to VR-Default. You cannot add or delete any other protocols from VR-Default, and you cannot add or delete any protocols from the other system VRs, VR-Mgmt and VR-Control.
Note
You must delete the MPLS protocol from VR-Default before you can add it to a user VR. MPLS can be active on only on VR within a switch.When you delete a protocol from a VRF, the protocol instance is deleted on the parent VR and the CE routes imported from that protocol into the VRF Routing Information Base (RIB) are removed. The parent VR continues to run the protocol until that protocol is removed from the VR.
The following example shutdowns and removes RIP from the VR "vr-acme":
configure vr vr-acme delete protocol rip
The following example deletes the BGP protocol instance for VRF "vr-widget":
configure vr vr-widget delete protocol bgp
