Configuring graceful shutdown for all BGP4 neighbors

Perform the following steps to configure graceful shutdown for all BGP4 neighbors.

  1. From privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode.
    device# configure terminal
  2. Enable BGP routing.
    device(config-rbridge-id-122)# router bgp
  3. Configure the autonomous system number (ASN) in which your device resides.
    device(config-bgp-router)# local-as 1000
  4. Add a neighbor.
    device(config-bgp-router)# neighbor 10.11.12.13 remote-as 2
    Repeat this step for all neighbors on the device.
  5. Configure graceful shutdown for all neighbors.
    device(config-bgp-router)# graceful-shutdown 600 community 10 
    This example configures graceful shutdown for all neighbors after 600 seconds and sets the community attribute to 10. The graceful-shutdown command gracefully shuts down all neighbors on the node. When a route map is not specified, default graceful shutdown parameters are applied. When a route map is specified, only route-map parameters are applied.
  6. Return to privileged EXEC mode.
    device(config-bgp-router)# end
  7. Verify the configuration.
    device# show running-configuration router bgp
    
     router bgp
      local-as 1000
      graceful-shutdown 600 community 10

The following example shows how to configure graceful shutdown of all BGP4 neighbors after 600 seconds. The community attribute is also set to 10.

device# configure terminal	
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# local-as 1000
device(config-bgp-router)# neighbor 10.11.12.13 remote-as 2

device(config-bgp-router)# graceful-shutdown 600 community 10
