+Administrative Shutdown
+-----------------------
+
+.. index:: [no] bgp shutdown [message MSG...]
+.. clicmd:: [no] bgp shutdown [message MSG...]
+
+ Administrative shutdown of all peers of a bgp instance. Drop all BGP peers,
+ but preserve their configurations. The peers are notified in accordance with
+ `RFC 8203 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8203/>`_ by sending a
+ ``NOTIFICATION`` message with error code ``Cease`` and subcode
+ ``Administrative Shutdown`` prior to terminating connections. This global
+ shutdown is independent of the neighbor shutdown, meaning that individually
+ shut down peers will not be affected by lifting it.
+
+ An optional shutdown message `MSG` can be specified.
