+ This is not correct behavior but it is required by some BGP
+ implementations (Cisco and Quagga). Without this option,

<tag>disable after error <m/switch/</tag> When an error is encountered (either
locally or by the other side), disable the instance automatically
and wait for an administrator to fix the problem manually. Default: off.
