Hi.
You did not write: what version of BIRD do you use ?
IPv4: a) Enable debug: protocol bgp { .... debug all; } Than check log. What is there ?
b) BGP neighbors are in one IP subnet ?
c) Try to set source address in bgp section: source address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX;
IPv6: You must set router id in bird6.conf. See bird6.conf.example: router id 198.51.100.1;
Router id must be IPv4 address, not IPv6 address.

Hi, I recently started trying to learn BIRD. I should also mention I have no previous experience with any other Routing daemon either. I want to configure a bgp monitor for both ipv4 and ipv6. I am running BIRD in a Ubuntu 13.10 VM. I managed to install both bird and bird6 but I have some problems with the configurations. In ipv4 : I created a very simple configuration which I attach. The conf is compiled but in birdc the bgp session is considered idle. I tried to do a tcpdump and found that the router sends a TCP SYN on the VM's bgp port but the VM responds with a RST and never tries to set a BGP session itself.
In ipv6 : No matter the configuration (my configuration or the sample coming with bird6 or examples found on the web) the configuration is not compiled giving the following error : BIRD ipv6 doesn't run (bird: /usr/local/etc/bird6.conf, line 1: Router ID must be configured manually on IPv6 routers)
Could anyone give me some pointers on what I am doing wrong ?
Thank you for your help,
