BGP is not coming up: Error: Invalid next hop
Hi. We have a pretty simple BGP configuration with bird: protocol static static_isp { import all; route <net1>/22 via <gw>; route <net2>/23 via <gw>; } protocol bgp isp { disabled on; import none; export where proto = "static_isp"; local as <X>; neighbor <nei> as <Y>; } Initially, we configured network interface with wrong ip address, then after fixing this, bird gives us this error after reconfiguration (Error: Invalid next hop). What's the problem? We could tried restarting bird but this is production router (we have replaced Cisco router with this Linux box) and we woudn't want to do that unless this is really needed. -- Timur Irmatov
Ouch, another simple mistake on our part (we have configured peer with our ip address in bird.conf). I should get some more sleep.. ;-) On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 11:53 PM, Timur Irmatov <irmatov@gmail.com> wrote:

Well, at least i found one minor related bug - when local IP is changed to no longer be the same as the configured neighbor, the BGP session stays in down and must be manually started. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
