Configuring BGP for Overload Conditions

You can specify how you want BGP to behave when it is running out of memory in
an overload condition. You can have BGP either shut itself down or continue running;
in the latter case, BGP performance might be altered because of the lack of resources.

The following partial outputs show how the BGP state is indicated by the show ip
bgp summary command:

Configuring BGP Peer Groups
Use to shut down BGP globally.
This command takes effect immediately.
Example
host1(config-router)#bgp shutdown
Use the no version to reenable BGP.
See bgp shutdown.
Use to shut down a neighbor or peer group without removing their configuration.
This command takes effect immediately.
Use the no version to reenable a neighbor or peer group that was previously
shut down. Use the default version to remove the explicit configuration from
the peer or peer group and reestablish inheritance of the feature configuration.
See neighbor shutdown.
Use to shut down BGP if it runs out of memory.
The default behavior is for BGP to transition from the Up state to the Overload
state and continue running.
This command takes effect immediately.
Example
host1(config-router)#overload shutdown
Use the no version to restore the default behavior.
See overload shutdown.
Administrative state is Start
Operational state is Overload
Shutdown in overload state is disabled
Default local preference is 100
