Yes, eBGP won`t form a session if the peer address is not in its route table. > It closes > connected sessions even if I have policy route data forwarding configured > and even if traffic is forwarding correctly. The default for "ip local policy route-map" command is packets that are generated by the router itself are not policy routed. So the BGP session to port 179 that generated by the router will not hit the route-map. > Is there some knob I'm > forgetting about (other than using a static classful route to null0)? None that I know other than static route to the loopback.
