BGP Problem

[David Leudem]

Hello all;

I have BGP peering between one cisco router and alcatel router. both routers are directly connected.each time that the physical link between the two falls, when comes up the bgp remains in idle state. to solve it, need to reconfigure the peering again. Is there any configuration that can help me to this peering automatically up when the link goes down and come up??

Hi!

There is some problem here which i don't understand, see this output from you the previous post "*Jul 29 16:04:22.720: BGP: 10.120.120.9 active sending OPEN, version 4, my as: 37620, holdtime 180 seconds, ID 29F40A28". Is this correct your local AS is 37620 and holdtime is 180 seconds from the cisco router? But what you post is you local AS is 300, can you clarify which one you are using? 

Another quation is why are you not using router-id?

Where are you using this ip address "*Jul 29 16:04:22.719: BGP: 10.120.120.9 open active, local address 41.244.10.40"?

yes you are rigth. it's because I changed AS to 300 and this IP (41.244.10.40) is the loopback1 interface of the cisco router like you see in the config it's  use as source update of bgp.
