I got this error meassge on one of customer routers where the BGP failed:
SYSLOG Smoothing Interval Exceeded Alarm:xxxxxxxxxx BGP-5-ADJCHANGE down 666 seconds which exceeds smoothing interval of 660 seconds for neighbor x.x.x.x.
the BGP config:
router bgp 65002
bgp log-neighbor-changes
network x.x.x.x mask x.x.x.x
timers bgp 15 45
neighbor x.x.x.x remote-as xxxxx
neighbor x.x.x.x description PE - load sharing
neighbor x.x.x.x soft-reconfiguration inbound
neighbor x.x.x.x route-map setmedprimary out
neighbor x.x.x.x filter-list 1 in
We found that the link was down between the CE and PE router, but I don't understeand why the BGP adjecency didn't fail on dead timer set to 45s.
