neighbor passive

Description

This command makes the neighbor not initiate the TCP session. When this command is applied for the peer-group, all the neighbors associated with that peer-group will not initiate the TCP session.

The neighbor connection must be reset using clear ip bgp <NEIGHBOR-IP-ADDRESS> to allow this configuration to take effect.

The no form of this command enables the neighbor to initiate the TCP session for the specified neighbor or peer-group.
