Thanks for your help. The only log entry was the one showing the disconnection:

Hi,
Can you share the BGP configuration and show route 0/0 output? Also, do you have the output of show log messages from that time?
Regards

Subject: Removing connection to one BGP peer resets connectivity?
Hello, I removed the physical connection to the 2nd BGP peer and lost Internet connectivity. The 1st BGP peer which is preferred was still up. It seems like removing the 2nd one caused some type of reset. Is this expected? It was re-connected, but I think the Internet came back before I did that. So I'm wondering if a 30 second outage would be expected in this scenario. Thanks for any insight.
