Hello! I habe severe problems to understand birds behaviour regarding some peers. Two peers now carry debug parameters to analyse what's going on. Here is one example with config excerpt and debug output from syslog. Why is the incoming connection from the peer rejected? What does "Bad peer AS" mean in this context? Does the peer try to identify itself with _my_ ASN? Or does it expect me to be 65036 (what would be correct!)? --------------------------- protocol bgp Oldenburg1_wi from bgp_ic_wi { neighbor 10.207.0.27 as 65513; debug { states,interfaces,events }; }; # with my ASN defined to be 65036 in the template bgp_ic_wi: template bgp bgp_ic_wi { local wi_addr_ic as 65036; router id 10.207.0.56; table ic_wi; import where (is_freifunk_dn42() && !is_wimz_self_nets()); export where (is_wi_self_net() || (source = RTS_BGP)); direct; }; --------------------------- Sep 28 23:43:02 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Incoming connection from 10.207.0.27 (port 42544) rejected [...] Sep 28 23:43:47 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Connecting to 10.207.0.27 from local address 10.207.0.56 Sep 28 23:43:47 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Connected Sep 28 23:43:47 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Received: Bad peer AS: 65036 Sep 28 23:43:47 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: State changed to stop Sep 28 23:43:47 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Down Sep 28 23:43:47 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: State changed to down Sep 28 23:43:47 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Starting Sep 28 23:43:47 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: State changed to start Sep 28 23:43:47 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Startup delayed by 300 seconds [...] Sep 28 23:47:02 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Incoming connection from 10.207.0.27 (port 42836) rejected [...] Sep 28 23:47:45 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Started Sep 28 23:47:45 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Connect delayed by 5 seconds Sep 28 23:47:49 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Connecting to 10.207.0.27 from local address 10.207.0.56 Sep 28 23:47:49 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Connected Sep 28 23:47:49 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Received: Bad peer AS: 65036 Sep 28 23:47:49 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: State changed to stop Sep 28 23:47:49 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Down Sep 28 23:47:49 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: State changed to down Sep 28 23:47:49 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Starting Sep 28 23:47:49 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: State changed to start Sep 28 23:47:49 lotuswurzel bird: Oldenburg1_wi: Startup delayed by 300 seconds --------------------------- Best regards, Kai -- "Das ist Demokratie, wenn man sich aussuchen darf, wer einen verarscht."
