Mikrotik BGP ROS v7.2.3 to Linux FRR BGP Setup not working, no session, no routes

Tue May 17, 2022 8:26 am

Hi All,

I'm trying to establish a network using a combination of Mikrotik routers, and Linux boxes running FRR. I appreciate this isn't an FRR help channel, but I imagine others might have similar problems. Ill post this on the FRR github repo issues log if I can figure out where exactly the problem is. I think I'm having problems on the Mikrotik side as I can get two FRR instances talking with relative ease.

I'm not a network engineer. Just in case anyone wants to lower the level a little.

The goal is to get BGP routed over a GRE tunnel, but for now, just getting a session up and a route from either side would probably unblock me.

I can telnet both sides, tcp port 179.

heres some output from thr FRR side showing the Mikrotik neighbor, but not being up :(

I'm using real IPs here so fee free to hack away. If you break in, let me know how you did it ;)

Any help on making this work would be very much appreciated. The goal is simply to get the session up and get something from both sides, to each other in a full mesh type arrangement.

Cheers,
Tom

Most likely you need to set update-source in FRRs BGP config
