I have two router connected with EBGP peering , i can able to ping both router's IP address,but i cann't establish neighbour reliation ship.
following error messange in log message , can anybody tell me urgently

It does not appear to me that these messages have anything to do with problems in establishing the neighbor relationship. These messages are about scanning the routing table to see if there are any routes to advertise in BGP (it is scanning for IPv4 unicast, then for IPv6 unicast, then for VPNv4 unicast, and then for IPv4 multicast). This scanning activity is a normal part of BGP and I do not see anything in these messages that indicates a problem.
Perhaps you can tell us more about the problem? Can you post the router config? Are the routers connected on a common subnet (and are you using addresses in that subnet as the peering addresses)? If not have you specified the multihop parameter?
If we had more information to work with we might be able to find better answers.

We do not have enough information yet to be able to identify the cause of your issue.
- can you post the output of show ip interface Fast0/0 from both routers.
- can you post the output of each router attempting to ping the BGP neighbor address
- can you post the output of show ip bgp and of show ip bgp sum from both routers

Hi,
Could you please check "show ip int brief". I believe your protocol should be "down" since you configured two different subnet ip address for directly connected interface.
09-19-2016 11:33 PM
as you are configuring ebgp between two differn subnet you should add below command on both router it will work
neighbor x.x.x.x disable-connected-check

Thank you for help it work !! Cheers

Greetings,
As the other guy says, the routers aren't even trying to establish. Are the neighbors 'activated'?
Send through the 'show run | begin router bgp'
Dave
10-22-2006 11:15 PM
hi ,
If you can ping that means there is a route present .
paste logs for << and
1) Show ip bgp neighbors
2) sh ip bgp summary
3) sh ip route
4) [ sh running ]
and traceroute .. its really diffucult without data ..

Hi,
Are you able to ping P2P link ips i.e. POS interface or DS3 interface ?
Have you given ' update source loopback ' in neighbour command ? If yes, make sure loopback ips are properly routed. Just check !
Cheers !!!

As i dont see your topolgy. i will say do the following steps.
1) First of all configure router id with command "bgp router-id" on all routers.
2) The router which is not show tcp details go to that router cli and check neighbor command , check if the ip is wrong.
using this command " show run | sec inc router.
3) check both router interfaces with "show ip interface brief" command and check if its down make it shutdown and no shutdown.

I hope that you are aware that both routers are not on the same subnet and that the IP route is not point to the next hop address.
