BGP Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting BGP involves checking neighbor adjacencies, advertised routes, and policy application. Here are some common issues and commands.
Common Issues:
- Neighbor Adjacency Issues: Incorrect neighbor IP, AS number mismatch, ACL blocking, or authentication issues.
- Route Not Advertised: Network command missing, synchronization issues, or policy filtering.
- Path Selection Issues: Incorrect path attributes or policy application.
