BGP Flapping

We have two systems running BGP fine with other neighbors but they are flapping between each other.  Connectivity between the two loopbacks is fine.

Here is the log, have you seen this before?  Configs are listed below.

Hello David,

I would focus on the following debug lines:

Jun 24 16:01:32.280 EDT: BGP: nbr global 96.34.212.10 neighbor does not have IPv4 MDT topology activated
Jun 24 16:01:32.280 EDT: BGP: ses global 96.34.212.10 (0) act IPv4 Unicast:base mdt prepare old peer: BGP_MDT_STYLE_NONE
or Internal Problem

it looks like router1 detects that the other peer cannot talk on address-family MDT and prepares itself to do something for backward compatibility and fails in this attempt

later we see that remote peer has sent a notification message closing the session

Jun 24 16:01:52.730 EDT: BGP: 96.34.212.10 rcv message type 3, length (excl. header) 2
Jun 24 16:01:52.730 EDT: %BGP-3-NOTIFICATION: received from neighbor 96.34.212.10 4/0 (hold time expired) 0 bytes
Jun 24 16:01:52.730 EDT: BGP: 96.34.212.10 went from Established to Closing

this may mean the session was stucked and no BGP hello has been received

I would check this aspect of MDT address family on neighbor if you have access to it or I would contact the router's adminstrator

Hope to help

Giuseppe
