BGP Help!!!!

[ward]

What would cause a BGP session to go Idle?

Given a standard config if you had a situation where u had BGP peers constantly going into IDLE state.

What would ordinarily cause this?

I just want to understand what would cause this because I cant find an answer for this on the web.

Hi,

could be one of three things:

The Neighbor Statement Is Incorrect

No Routes to the Neighbor Address Exist or the Default Route Is Used to Reach the Peer

The update-source Command Is Missing Under BGP
