Hi Will,

 

 

Here is a post with relevant info for this:

You can use 'b node 1.1.1.1 down' to set 1.1.1.1 to forced offline. You can reset the stats for a node by running 'b node 1.1.1.1 stats reset' and then check for active connections using 'b node 1.1.1.1 stats' and check the "cur" total.

 

 

To set the node to disabled (Only persistent or active connections allowed), you can use 'b node 1.1.1.1 session disable/enable'.
