MPLS MP-IBGP configuration

[ganpatspatil]

Hi,

I have configured following senario

PE1-s1/0--------P1---P2------s1/0-PE2

10.10.10.1 10.10.30.2

PE1 -s1/0-10.10.10.1

PE2 -s1/0-10.10.30.2

I have configured the IBGP between PE1 and PE2 with physical interface IP address.

I can see the BGP session is UP between PE1 and PE2.

I have configured (activate) MP-IBGP between PE1 and PE2.

And i received the following message on the PE1 router.

%BGP-4-vpnv4NH_IF:next-hop 10.10.10.1 may not be reachable from neighbour 10.10.30.2 - not a loopback.

Can anyone please explain me what is this mean?

Hi @iamtonythompson ,

Yes, this restriction of using the loopback interface ip address would still apply.
