Intermittent no listening socket error - IPv6 BGP

5 Feb 2013

      Hi guys,

I have intermittent "No listening socket error" on IPv6 BGP when setting my server's IPv6 address on different interface from my IPv4. Everything is ok if I put my IPv6 address in the same interface as my IPv4 address. I am using my IPv6 address as BGP listening address under bird6.conf. It this common? By the way, the setting of my IPv6 interface is:

DEVICE=p1p2
NM_CONTROLLED=no
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
UUID="65dbd13f-10fc-4f9d-b8aa-7642fc527f34"
DEFROUTE=no
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
IPV6_DEFROUTE=no
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
NAME="System p1p2"
USERCTL=no
HWADDR=00:1B:21:A9:C8:C5
IPV6_DEFAULTGW=::
IPV6ADDR=2001:de8:5::2:4115:99/64

Thanks,
Jimmy
