Hi,
I have an odd situation !
I am seeking to add a new peer to my config, my process has been as follows :
1) ifconfig the peer
2) Check I can ping the peer (and the peer confirms they can ping me)
3) Add peer to BGPD (and allow them in on PF)
bgpctl reload, and the world looks good. Peer comes up and established.
*BUT* (all IPs and ASNs in what follows have been obfuscated)
bgpctl sho ri nei <NEI> selected
Returns zero results. Which is evidently wrong, as we're talking a
direct connection to a large global player here !
bgpctl show nexthop is even more worrying, BGPD seems to think my
interface is down, even though its not, and there's a live BGPD
session on it !
$ bgpctl show nexthop
Flags: * = nexthop valid
Nexthop Route Prio Gateway Iface

$ bgpctl sho nei 192.0.2.25
