    To reset the private peering configuration in your Azure ExpressRoute circuit, you need to follow these steps:

    1. Disable the Peering: In the Azure portal, locate your ExpressRoute circuit and navigate to the private peering configuration settings. Uncheck the "Enable" option to disable the peering. This action will shut down the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) session for both the primary and secondary connections of your ExpressRoute circuit.
    2. Enable the Peering: After disabling the peering, re-enable it by checking the "Enable" option again.

    The time required for the peering connection to re-establish typically ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on various factors like network conditions and specific configuration details.

    For further information, refer to the detailed instructions in the Azure documentation:
