Need a little BGP address-family help

Hi,

I'm reviewing my IPv6 BGP I'm trying to understand the difference in these
two output:

#1

------------------------------------

router bgp 200
 no synchronization
 bgp router-id 150.1.1.1
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 neighbor 2001:CC1E:1::3 remote-as 300
 no neighbor 2001:CC1E:1::3 activate
 no auto-summary
 !
 address-family ipv6
  neighbor 2001:CC1E:1::3 activate
 exit-address-family

#2

-------------------------------------

router bgp 200
 no synchronization
 bgp router-id 150.1.1.1
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 neighbor 2001:CC1E:1::3 remote-as 300
 no auto-summary
 !
 address-family ipv6
  neighbor 2001:CC1E:1::3 activate
 exit-address-family

#1 was created by just going under the ipv6 address-family and adding a
neighbor whereas in #2 the neighbor was add under the main process and also
activated the address-family.

If someone could please help out by explaining what the "no neighbor
2001:CC1E:1::3 activate" under #1 in the main BGP process does as I'm a bit
confused as to what action it performs

Thanks,

AndyL.
