What is "openbgp version 3.72"?......
When I installed this package I did so with the following command
"pkg_add -r openbgpd
Fetching
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-release/Latest/openbgpd.tbz...";
This link was no longer valid, I tried netcatting the open port in
hopes of getting a banner with a version, no luck. I backed up the
tree to "ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-release/"
and found the first openbgp package, sorry total swag.
Why announce the network to which both hosts are already
connected? Try removing that because it's after that route
has been added that the problem seems to start...
I removed the prefix from .130 that both peers share and the result
was the same.
Yes. You get a couple of prefixes announced, then nothing and the
session resets once hold-time runs out? And if you look at traffic,
lots of TCP retransmits? Also, the path between the two boxes has a
path-MTU less than local MTUs?
These hosts are local, same switch, same VLAN, 100mbTX, full duplex.
No errors on the switch.
misc@ is the right place.
Thx
Why do you set holdtime to 6?
These peers are local to eachother (100mb/TX), I want fast convergence
> HoldTimer expired
This is the cause why the connection goes down. For some reason the hold
timer triggered. Check with bgpctl show nei 192.168.12.130 timer if the
holdtime and keepalive timer are correct.
Could this have anything to do with the "BGP: %NOTIFICATION: received
from neighbor 192.168.12.129 5/0 (Finite State Machine Error) 0 bytes
BGP: 192.168.12.129 went from Established to Idle" error?
This one here is a bit strange. Why is the ConnectRetryTimer still running
when the connection is established.
Not sure, I am going to upgrade to the latest (or snapshot based on
feedback from the group) and see if the error goes away.
Please send the output of "bgpctl show nei 192.168.12.130 timer"
and what version of OpenBGPD are you running (there is no such thing as
3.72). Check if it is not possible to install a more current version.
I will send this if the issue is not resolved with the upgrade. Thx.
