<div> Hi !!<br><br>i tried to install bird in Solaris (SunOS 5.10 Generic_118833-33 sun4u sparc SUNW,Netra-240) but could not get the luck, may be Sun Os doesn't support bird!!! So i installed FreeBSD in Netra-240 and then installed Bird (it was quite easy). Now I configured BGP.When did BGP peering with interface ip, BGP estalibshed but when i did same with loopback ips, BGP establishment failed.(note: both loopback ips can be ping from each other).My scenario:<br><br>case1: BGP peering with loopback ips<br><br>[Router1]------bgp------[Bird]<br><br>Configuration:<br><font style="" color="#FF0000"><b>Router1:</b></font><br><br><font style="" color="#548DD4">Router1#sh ip int brief</font><font style="" color="#548DD4"><br></font><font style="" color="#548DD4">Interface IP-Address OK?
