mismatch AS
*Apr  9 00:31:47.691: %BGP-3-NOTIFICATION: received from neighbor 
10.250.254.253 2/2 (peer in wrong AS) 2 bytes 6A39

mismatch neighbor IP address
no logged error

MTU mismatch
no logged error, session remained up

Subnet mask mismatch
session remained up, no logged error

I haven't created the multihop scenario to see the error messages.


None of these issues caused the (authentication failure).
