Our BGP router (2.9.93) stopped routing. The BGP has an uplink to a Cisco BGP Router. We announce a /20 ip block
The message on the Cisco was (several 100-times)
BGP-3-NOTIFICATION: received from neighbor 6/5 (cease) 0 b ytes 3w3d
Does anybody know the reason for this?
Kind regards,
Stephan
Sorry OOT, WHERE do you get 2.9.93??
What is very advanced technology included in that version?
kidding! cheers!
Oops…typo… version 2.9.23

Stephan
Have you restarted Mikrotik? Mikrotik’s bgp is rather unstable for now.
Gregor
Yes, I restarted the BGP router…and it worked again.
I think this issue can show up any moment and my customers won’t be happy with any more service outages.
Stephan
This is Mikrotik 
We have to wait for Mikrotik to correct such issues. I hope they will do it.
Gregor
I think I got same problems with stephandm.
Restart bgp and viola it’s working again!
Also have this issue, any link goes down for a sec and BGP goes to
“unconnected” upstream and stays there. Have to restart almost all the routers feeding it to get it to come back…ANNOYING!! PLEASE guys fix this.

I dont know im having the entire routing die on me. I dont know whether its bgp thts killing it but from inside we can ping everything outside all is dead. MT PLEASE HELP I JUST SENT U A SUPOUT.RIF file.
More and more people using MT for BGP!!!
Why MT people not give us final working routing ?
Quagga version used in MT is old. Commands is not enough,
with different commands we need different examples 
If i am wrong - correct me! Quagga syntax is like cisco.
Mikrotik using quagga with their own syntax …good…
what we get from quagga features ?
“Routing the world” ? Where ? To 127.0.0.1 ?
I agree if nothing is done soon we will be moving out of MT instead of ordering another 6 licences
we don’t use quagga. use routing-test
where? wherever you tell it to. But seroisly, I don’t want to repeat myself, but where is your email to support? did you make a supout.rif file with 2.9.25 and routing-test, and did you send it with a problem description to support?
we have some customers with giant BGP networks who say that 2.9.25 BGP works fast and perfect.
We want to help you, but we need those reports.
I sent a support request [Ticket#2006060516000369] with 2.9.24 crashing. They replied back --UPGRADE to 2.9.25. We upgraded. The same thing happened to 2.9.25 today evening EST , we had screaming customers so we cant wait for a supout anymore . Its an intermittent problem i dont know when it will wake me up at night, midnight or morning.
I am running 2 peers with 180k routes from each. I have been forced to use routing instead of routing-test because changeip has experienced problems with it and we cant loose customers , software built should work . I wish VRRP was proper atleast it would failover (which also cannot be trusted now).
did you make a new file and send it back, right away?
as i said the problem is “the same” so my existing supout should help. i did not have the time as we had frantic customers . In any case we will be moving to another machine to see if it still persists. I will then check supout.
I don’t understand only one thing - why so much shouting about the routing-TEST package.
In my understanding TEST packages must be buggy, or esle they become stable packages.
the stable routing package is also buggy.
if you have BGP with MT and tryin` two packages you know about …
Some features of BGP protocol, software that deals with BGP, not “iron” cisco…just software, like quagga and zebra .
In MT case - this is quagga. And if you see routing and routing-test
features, then you see “cisco links” from “documentation” about 2.9 MT…
If you search on forum and archive to see how many posts with troubles …if you see post that say “routing-test is ok… use it” …if you see features in old routing package …
And you understand ..may be… same sh1t - different day..
We wait for final solution about this problems … quagga is a small software, but its rewiten and “killed” by MT devs..
Too many bugs and problems …
sorry, but we don’t use quagga or zebra ..
