Hello,

It looks like the router 172.31.235.122 was configured to use a password in the BGP peering with 172.31.235.121, but 172.31.235.121 is not configured with a password in this BGP peering.

Can you first confirm a working connectivity between 172.31.235.122 and 172.31.235.121? Next, can you confirm that both these routers are configured with the same BGP password?

Best regards,
Peter

Wonderful thank you Peter, i'll check the connectivity and then the confirm the password. Will advise if this has worked. 

Thank you once again. 

One question i do have Peter which hopefully you can help with, this seems to occur on odd days at different intervals. Below i have added the full logs: 

Which confuses me:

Hello,

To be honest, I am confused as well.

Is there perhaps a firewall or a device running some kind of TCP interception between your router and the peer 172.31.235.121? Alternatively, is it possible that this BGP peering uses the IP address of a HSRP group as its update source/destination at either end?

The notification message - hold time expired - is fairly straightforward: The neighbor has not been heard from in due time, usually 3 minutes. Therefore, I believe we should focus strongly on the IP connectivity between you and the BGP peer and all factors that can impact it.

Best regards,
Peter
