I have a cisco 2650 connecting to an MPLS-aware PE via eBGP. The configuration is as follows:
router bgp 65512
no synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
redistribute connected
neighbor 10.253.0.2 remote-as 23532
neighbor 10.253.0.2 update-source Loopback0
neighbor 10.253.0.2 next-hop-self
no auto-summary
ip route 10.253.0.2 255.255.255.255 10.105.250.1
The BGP peer is set up between the loopback on the CE to the loopback on the vrf on the PE. I am able to ping each loopback from the other's source interface. Here is the sh ip bgp neigh:
BGP neighbor is 10.253.0.2, remote AS 23532, external link
BGP version 4, remote router ID 0.0.0.0
BGP state = Idle
Last read 00:00:01, hold time is 180, keepalive interval is 60 seconds

It shows to be idle- yet it shouldnt. Suggestions?

EBGP expects the peering address to be on a directly connected subnet. If you want to peer using the loopbacks add this to your config -
router bgp 65512
neighbor 10.253.0.2 ebgp-multihop 2
Hopefully the other end ie. the PE also has this configured.
