Hi,
I am getting following errors on the router :
000040: Nov 10 15:37:28.000: %FW-4-ALERT_ON: getting aggressive, count (4/3000) current 1-min rate: 501

On the output it shows lot of bad hop count. Anybody has any idea by seeing this output what could be the problem?
Thanks.

These are firewall alerts, possibly unwarranted.
These have nothing to do with routing.
Bad hop counts are actually an indication of how many traceoutes the router has seen.
