The only way I know of forcing on router to be the server is by hardcoding the router-id to something higher than the client, or using a connection mode of active or passive in the BGP neighbor command:
R1(config-router)#neighbor 150.100.12.2 transport connection-mode ? active Actively establish the TCP session passive Passively establish the TCP session Thank you, Steve Di Bias Network Engineer - Information Systems Valley Health System - Las Vegas Office - 702- 369-7594 Cell - 702-241-1801 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of gaurav nunia Sent: Friday, June 24, 2011 8:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] BGP-peering can anybody please explain the client and server model used. its okay that the client sources the session with a random port to server's 179. but i get confused when client is not always the router with higher ID. > when is the first time we can know about a router being a server or client, i mean time with- 'idle-open-.........estb'; states. and can i force a router to be the client or server ? also can i see the ttl values of the packets preferably by CLI. -- thanks gaurav http://routing0sand1s.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com Are you a CCNP or CCIE and looking for a job?
