Disables the establishment of BGP connections with a remote peer when the peer is first configured.
This feature is disabled.
BGP configuration mode
The auto-shutdown-new-neighbors command applies to all neighbors configured under each VRF. When the auto-shutdown-new-neighbors command is used, any new neighbor configured will have the shutdown flag enabled for them by default. Once all the neighbor parameters are configured and it is ready to start the establishment of BGP session with the remote peer, the BGP neighbor‘s shutdown parameter has to disabled by removing the shutdown command for the neighbor.
The no form of the command restores the default.
The following example enables auto shutdown of BGP neighbors on initial configuration.
device# configure terminal device(config)# router bgp device(config-bgp-router)# auto-shutdown-new-neighbors
The following example disables the peer shutdown state and begins the BGP4 session establishment process.
device# configure terminal device(config)# router bgp device(config-bgp-router)# local-as 65520 device(config-bgp-router)# no neighbor 10.1.1.1 shutdown
