  • 1.  Removing connection to one BGP peer resets connectivity?

    Posted 24 days ago

    Hello, I removed the physical connection to the 2nd BGP peer and lost Internet connectivity.  The 1st BGP peer which is preferred was still up.  It seems like removing the 2nd one caused some type of reset.  Is this expected?  It was re-connected, but I think the Internet came back before I did that.  So I'm wondering if a 30 second outage would be expected in this scenario.  Thanks for any insight.

    Have you thought about setting "priority" on both

    interfaces. One lower than the other. In host

    connectivity it's 0-7 or 1-7, or similar. But in

    other uses its a much higher number to

    contend with. Skip your highest metric with

    priorities. Perhaps.

    Hi,

    Can you share the BGP configuration and show route 0/0 output? Also, do you have the output of show log messages from that time?

    Regards

    Thanks for your help.  The only log entry was the one showing the disconnection:

    This is the config:

    protocols {
        bgp {
            group eBGP {
                type external;
                export adv-bgp;
                neighbor 164.104.199.198 {
                    authentication-key "$9$jXim5Fn9u01n6Au1Iyr4oJ"; ## SECRET-DATA
                    peer-as 12145;
                }
                neighbor 64.124.44.250 {

                }
            }
            graceful-restart;
        }
