BGP and BGP4+ Commands

neighbor activate (BGP and BGP4+)

Use this command to enable the exchange of BGP IPv4 and BGP4+ IPv6 routes with a neighboring router, and also within either an IPv4 or an IPv6 specific address-family.

Use the no variant of this command to disable the exchange of information with a BGP or BGP4+ neighbor, in the Router Configuration or the Address Family Configuration mode.

Syntax [BGP/BGP4+] neighbor <neighborid> activate

no neighbor <neighborid> activate

Parameter Description

<neighborid> {<ip-address><ipv6-addr><peer-group>}

<ip-address>Specify the address of an IPv4 BGP neighbor, in dotted decimal notation A.B.C.D.

<ipv6-addr>Specify the address of an IPv6 BGP4+ neighbor, entered in hexadecimal in the format X:X::X:X.

<peer-group>Enter the name of an existing peer-group. For information on how to create peer groups, refer to the neighbor peer-group (add a neighbor) (BGP and BGP+) command on page 3.144, and neighbor route-map (BGP and BGP4+) command on page 3.159. When this parameter is used with this command, the command applies on all peers in the specified group.

Mode [BGP] Router Configuration or IPv4 Address Family Configuration for a VRF instance

Mode [BGP4+] IPv6 Address Family Configuration

Usage [BGP] Use this command to enable the exchange of information to a neighbor. To exchange IPv4 or IPv6 prefixes with a BGP or a BGP4+ peer, you must configure this command for the peer or the peer group. This command only enables the exchange of information. You can establish peering without this command, but no prefixes and other information is sent until you apply this command to the neighbor.

This command triggers the switch to start a BGP or BGP4+ peering relationship with the specified BGP or BGP4+ neighbor and start exchanging routes with that neighbor. The command is required for neighbors configured in Address-Family Configuration mode, but it is not required in Router Configuration mode (that it, it does not affect the device’s behavior).

Examples [BGP] To enable an exchange of routes with a neighboring router with the IPv4 address 10.10.10.1, enter the commands as shown below:

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# router bgp 10

awplus(config-router)#neighbor 10.10.10.1 activate
