#### 17.1.5.6 Stopping Multi-Source Replicas

[]()

 The [`STOP REPLICA`](stop-replica.html) statement can be used to stop a multi-source replica. By default, if you use the [`STOP REPLICA`](stop-replica.html) statement on a multi-source replica all channels are stopped. Optionally, use the `FOR CHANNEL *`channel`*` clause to stop only a specific channel.

* To stop all currently configured replication channels:

  ```
  mysql> STOP SLAVE;
  Or from MySQL 8.0.22:
  mysql> STOP REPLICA;
  ```

* To stop only a named channel, use a `FOR CHANNEL *`channel`*` clause:

  ```
  mysql> STOP SLAVE FOR CHANNEL "source_1";
  Or from MySQL 8.0.22:
  mysql> STOP REPLICA FOR CHANNEL "source_1";
  ```

 For the full syntax of the [`STOP REPLICA`](stop-replica.html) command and other available options, see [Section 13.4.2.10, “STOP REPLICA Statement”](stop-replica.html).
