BGP speaker will not initiate a peer session with this peer; in this sense, the BGP speaker is "passive."

Usage Guidelines
•
Use the no form of this command to disable passive peer behavior.
•
By default BGP will initiate a session to a peer once the peer is configured, has an AS number, and is
enabled. You can use this command to configure the local BGP speaker as passive and an outbound
session will not be initiated to this peer. For such peers, BGP will always wait passively for the
inbound session attempt.
•
The BGP peer is restarted after issuing this command.
