Hi there,
Unless I'm doing something really silly, I can't seem to get a multi-hop ebgp session up on an ASR9k. I'm wondering if anyone can spot something I might have overlooked or am just not aware of : The neighbor reports: BGP state = Idle (No route to multi-hop neighbor) Which is odd because there is a route for this in the BGP table already. It's pingable, etc. RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:asr9k#show route vrf Inetv4 1.1.1.254 Fri Dec 28 16:49:58.718 EST Routing entry for 1.1.1.252/30 Known via "bgp 1", distance 200, metric 1, type internal Installed Dec 21 16:54:49.859 for 6d23h Routing Descriptor Blocks 2.2.2.2, from 3.3.3.3 Nexthop in Vrf: "default", Table: "default", IPv4 Unicast, Table Id: 0xe0000000 Route metric is 1 No advertising protos.
