Hi.

Begin from these steps:

1. Open the cli (birdc), then run the diagnostic commands. Also, you can run the commands in the shell cli (without interactive mode and autocompletion)

2. Run the command "show protocols all". It lists detailed information about configured protocols (include pseudoprotocols like 'device') - check the states of protocols - obviously, your protocol should be in the UP state.

3. There're a tons of reasons of what can happens wrong. If you don't see established BGP session, run the tcpdump and check the traffic.

These step are basic troubleshooting tactics. Ask more questions and provide more information.

Hi

I want to make BGP bettwen two peers. I have made this configuration and I don't know what is wrong.
Command show route, shows nothing. How can I check If it works? Do you have some remarks on the configuration files?
What do I need to do? Please, any remark is welcomed.

RS o------------------------------------------------------------------o IXP1
AS 900 AS 100
Loopback 10.9.9/32 Loopback 10.1.1.1/32
GATEWAY 10.0.0.9/24 GATEWAY 10.0.0.1/24

Two virtual machines RS and IXP1.
I have install BIRD 1.6.3 on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on a VM Oracle Box and I want to accomplish BGP connection.

RS
log syslog all;
router id 10.9.9.9;
protocol device {
scan time 10;
}
protocol kernel {
export all;
scan time 15;
}
protocol bgp peer1 {
import all;
export all;
local as 900;
neighbor 10.0.0.1 as 100;
}

IXP1
log syslog all;
router id 10.1.1.1;
protocol device {
scan time 10;
}
protocol kernel {
export all;
scan time 15;
}
protocol bgp peer9 {
import all;
export all;
local as 100;
neighbor 10.0.0.9 as 900;
}

Thank you for your help.
