Introduction

To become IPv6 BGP peers, any two routers need to establish a TCP session using port 179

and exchange open messages successfully. This document describes few scenarios wherein

BGP peering is not established beween two Ipv6 BGP speaking routers.

Prerequisite

It is assumed that the reader has an understanding of IPv6 and BGP routing protocol.

Background Information

The two routers (R1 and R2) depicted in the topology diagram are in AS 100 and AS 200

forming an EBGP relationship. Their loopbacks are advertised via OSPFv3 routing protocol.

There is another Router, R3, in between R1 and R2. The three routers are connected via Fast

Ethernet interfaces and are configured with OSPFv3 routing protocol. As we wanted the BGP

peering to established over the Loopback interface and not via the directly connected

interfaces, Router R3 is not depicted in the topology diagram. Please see the configurations

Topology Diagram

Configuration

Please see attached files Router R1, Router R2 and Router R3.

Note: All configurations are tested on Cisco 3745 Router running IOS 12.4 software.

Troubleshooting StepsStep1. AS Number

Symptom Error Message: %BGP-3-NOTIFICATION: received from neighbor 2012:ABC:123:22::2

2/2 (peer in wrong AS) 2 bytes 0064

Verify that the peer’s AS number is correct by command “show bgp ipv6 unicast summary”

Note: As seen from the output, the neighbor 2012:ABC:123:12::2 is configured in AS 123,

however Router R2 is residing in AS 200.

Step2. Connectivity

Ping the neighbor by command ping ipv6 X:X:X:X::X

Verify that the peer is listed in the IPv6 RIB


3/4

Note: In this scenario, the peering neighbor is 2012:ABC:123:11::1, the route is learned via

OSPFv3.

Step3. Update-Source interface

If a loopback interface is used to form peering, check that the command “update-source

loopback” is configured under the BGP configuration mode. Without the neighbor update-

source configuration command, the TCP session will use the IP address of the outgoing

physical interface and the neighbor will reject the incoming TCP SYN packet as it’s not coming

from a recognized BGP neighbor.

Note: The state remains in Active mode.

Step4. Ebgp Max-Hop count

If the peer is not directly connected, check that the peer ebgp-max-hop command is

configured.

Step5. TCP connection

Check the TCP connection by command “show tcp brief”


4/4

Note: The state should be established.

Step6. Access-List/Routing policy

Check whether an ACL for disabling TCP port 179 is configured.

Step7. Run Debugs

Use the command "debug bgp ipv6 unicast"
