Hi,
I have a working, configured, eBGP IPv4 interface to the upstream ISP. However, as we wish to run dual stack I now have to configure IPv6 peering on the same interface.
So, I have configured the IPv6 address supplied by the upstream ISP, on the interface. So I now have an IPv4 and an IPv6 address on the interface. I can ping the upstream ISP's IPv6 address. However when I try and configure the following:
set protocols bgp group external-peers neighbor xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
I get the following error:
[edit protocols]
'bgp'
Error in neighbor xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx of group external-peers:
local and peer addresses must be from the same family
error: configuration check-out failed
So, I am assuming that the MX thinks that the group is of IPv4 type only. However, I have configured the following:
set protocols bgp group external-peers family inet6 unicast
And I thought just apllying the IPv6 neighbor statement would do, but obviously not.....
Any help please?
