Disable BGP Additional-paths for a Neighbor

The additional-paths capability can be disabled for a neighbor or peer group under an address family.

About this task

When an additional-paths capability is configured for a BGP address family, you can disable the capability for a specific neighbor or peer group under the address family.

Procedure

  1. From privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode.
    device# configure terminal
    
  2. Enable BGP routing.
    device(config)# router bgp
    
  3. Enter configuration mode for the IPv4 unicast address family.
    device(config-bgp)# address-family ipv4 unicast
    
  4. Disable the additional-paths capability for a specific peer device.
    device(config-bgp-ipv4u)# neighbor 10.12.12.12 additional-paths disable
    

    This example disables the additional-paths capability for peer device 10.12.12.12

    When you run this command for an address-family level on which the additional-paths capability is not configured, an error message is displayed.

  5. Restart the BGP session to activate the new additional-paths capability configuration.

Example

This example re-enables the additional-paths capability on the specific neighbor 10.12.12.12 in the IPv4 unicast address family.

evice# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp)# address-family ipv4 unicast
device(config-bgp-ipv4u)# no neighbor 10.12.12.12 additional-paths disable
