Dear Adam,

 

Actually, I checked a lot before sending the email. If I can avoid noise, I will always choose to do so.

 

My check is pretty simple : I would like to detect as errors BGP sessions that are AdminEnabled (ie not shutdown) and that aren’t in Established state. Theese could be problematic for any kind of reason.

 

For this particular example I gave, same check works just fine for IPv4 for this old peers :

 

 

This has been confirmed on two routeurs acting as RRs :

 

telnet@rr01-par01#sh ip bgp summary 

  Neighbor Address  AS#         State   Time          Rt:Accepted Filtered Sent     ToSend

            X.Y.Z.2       ABCDE       ESTAB   369d 5h59m    3           0        621434   1        

            X.Y.Z.3       ABCDE       ESTAB   369d 6h 4m    406952      0        214471   12       

            X.Y.Z.4       ABCDE       ESTAB   369d 6h 2m    59865       0        597987   1        

            X.Y.Z.5       ABCDE       ADMDN   369d10h23m    0           0        0        0        

            X.Y.Z.6       ABCDE       ADMDN   369d10h23m    0           0        0        0        

            X.Y.Z.7       ABCDE       ESTAB> 369d 5h59m    195213      0        510924   1        

            X.Y.Z.8       ABCDE       ESTAB   369d 5h59m    397106      0        540911   1        

 

But, for IPv6 counter-part, it’s not working.

 

Maybe I’m actually missing something. If so, enlighten me with your wisdom.

 

Respectfully.

Objet : Re: [Observium] Possible bug with BGP IPv6 sessions state alert checker

 

Does bgpPeerAdminStatus not equals "stop" and bgpPeerState not equals "established"?

 

What, you didn't check before emailing?

 

Why not?

Dear all,

 

I have configured a simple BGP checker alert based on the provided example in observium’s website :

 

 

This works just fine for IPv4, but something is clearly wrong with IPv6 as some IPv6 BGP sessions show up in error.

 

This is an example from two Brocade CER-RT routers acting BGP route reflectors for a bunch of PEs. They are showing the exact same error :

 

 

IPv6 addresses DEAD:BEEF:CAFE::5 and DEAD:BEEF:CAFE::6 are loopbacks used to used by former PEs.

 

If I look at the BGP sessions state on the routers themselves, you can that I have willingly administratively shutdown the sessions :

 

telnet@rr01-par01#sh ipv bgp summary 

  Neighbor Address          AS#         State   Time          Rt:Accepted Filtered Sent     ToSend

  DEAD:BEEF:CAFE::2              XYZ       ESTAB   366d 8h29m    2           0        32985    0        

  DEAD:BEEF:CAFE::3              XYZ       ESTAB   366d 8h18m    24074       0        8911     0        

  DEAD:BEEF:CAFE::4              XYZ       ESTAB   366d 8h16m    1790        0        32360    0        

  DEAD:BEEF:CAFE::5              XYZ       ADMDN   366d12h37m    0           0        0        0        

  DEAD:BEEF:CAFE::6              XYZ       ADMDN   366d12h37m    0           0        0        0        

  DEAD:BEEF:CAFE::7              XYZ       CONN    357d12h10m    0           0        0        32985    

  DEAD:BEEF:CAFE::8              XYZ       ESTAB   366d12h37m    32453       0        24701    0        

 

Rest of alert checks for IPv4 and IPv6 sessions are fine.

 

Any hints about this ? Any traces I could provide ?

 

Best regards.
