Two 7200s connected back to back via their serial 2/0 ports. Bring up a link, establish a BGP neighbor relationship between them and then kill your router. The cool thing is, you can even do it from unprivileged mode:

c7200-b# conf t

Then, while in unprivileged mode…

c7200-b> show ip bgp version 3

…and that’s it. From the other router, we see that it’s down:

c7200-a> ping 10.0.0.2

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.0.0.2, timeout is 2 seconds:

And a moment later we’ll see the BGP adjacency go down:

*Dec  6 19:42:59.419: %BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor 10.0.0.2 Down Interface flap
c7200-a>
