To disable a peer group, use the neighbor peer-group-name shutdown command in
CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode. The configuration of the peer group is maintained, but it is not
applied to the peer group members. When you disable a peer group, all the peers within the peer group
that are in the ESTABLISHED state move to the IDLE state.
To view the status of peer groups, use the show ip bgp peer-group command in EXEC Privilege
mode, as shown in the following example.

Configuring BGP Fast Fall-Over

By default, a BGP session is governed by the hold time.
BGP routers typically carry large routing tables, so frequent session resets are not desirable. The BGP fast
fall-over feature reduces the convergence time while maintaining stability. The connection to a BGP peer
is immediately reset if a link to a directly connected external peer fails.
