Shutting Down an MSDP Peer
If you want to configure many MSDP commands for the same peer and you do not want the peer to become
active, you can shut down the peer, configure it, and later bring it up. When a peer is shut down, the TCP
connection is terminated and is not restarted. You can also shut down an MSDP session without losing
configuration information for the peer.
Follow these steps to shut down a peer:
