BGP peering accross two mikrotik's

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I just installed routing-test package to my both mikrotiks. I just want to set up a simple BGP peer along them.

Mikrotik 1:
/routing bgp instance set default as=65001 router-id=a.b.c.1 redistribute-static=yes
/routing bgp peer add name=peer1 remote-address=a.b.c.2 remote-as=65002

Mikrotik 2:
/routing bgp instance set default as=65002 router-id=a.b.c.2 redistribute-static=yes
/routing bgp peer add name=peer1 remote-address=a.b.c.1 remote-as=65001

but peer state is always “connect” I think it should be “established” or something like that. Also, I cannot see the remote AS and remote router ID properties on peer property pages.

Any comments?

Thank you very much!

yes, it should be “established”.
what version of ROS do you use?
check also TTL. this should be the number of nodes between two servers.

Go linux/quagga

Thank you very much zhall!

I am currently using quagga, I only try to test BGP features of mikrotik so I can peer them with quagga.

Have a great day!
