BGP6.001 

Level: UI-ERROR

Short Syntax: BGP6.001 Bad sec code in OPEN, from neighbor

Long Syntax: BGP6.001 Security code in OPEN message is incorrect from neighbor neighbor

Description: The BGP RFC specifies only a single acceptable security code of 0. This message is printed if another code is received.

Cause: Neighbor sent a security code in the OPEN message that is non null.

Action: Use a router that adheres more closely to the BGP specification.

BGP6.002 

Level: UI-ERROR

Short Syntax: BGP6.002 Bad msg hdr len, from neighbor

Long Syntax: BGP6.002 Message header length is incorrect from BGP6 neighbor neighbor

Description: The speaker received a message in which the header length was incorrect.

Cause: Neighbor sent an OPEN message that is of incorrect length.

Action: Use a router that adheres to the BGP specification.

BGP6.003 

Level: U-INFO

Short Syntax: BGP6.003 Unsupported BGP version, from neighbor

Long Syntax: BGP6.003 Unsupported BGP version request from neighbor neighbor

Description: The current version supported by BGP is version 4. No other version support exists. This message is printed when a neighbor requests a lower version of BGP.

Cause: Neighbor is requesting a version of BGP, which is unsupported.

Action: Neighbor router must be configured for the proper version.

BGP6.004 

Level: UI-ERROR

Short Syntax: BGP6.004 Bad marker fld, from neighbor

Long Syntax: BGP6.004 Marker field is incorrect from neighbor neighbor

Description: The only supported marker field is 16 octets of all ones. This message is printed when any other value is received.

Cause: Neighbor is using an incorrect marker field.

Action: Use a router that adheres to the BGP specification.

BGP6.005 

Level: UI-ERROR

Short Syntax: BGP6.005 Bad AS num, from neighbor

Long Syntax: BGP6.005 Bad AS number from neighbor neighbor

Description: This message is printed when the neighbor's AS number in OPEN message does not match the configured value for that neighbor.

Cause: Neighbor is using an AS that does not match the configured value.

Action: Make sure that the neighbor and this router have properly configured AS numbers.

BGP6.006 

Level: UI-ERROR

Short Syntax: BGP6.006 Bad ID from BGP6 neighbor neighbor

Long Syntax: BGP6.006 Bad identifier from BGP6 neighbor neighbor

Description: This message is printed when the neighbor and this speaker have the same BGP identifier. Since this is used to resolve TCP connection collisions, this is an illegal configuration.

Cause: Neighbor is using a BGP identifier that is the same as this one.

Action: Make sure that the neighbor and this router have properly configured IPv4 addresses which are used as the BGP identifiers in IPv6.

BGP6.007 

Level: U-INFO

Short Syntax: BGP6.007 Conn err to neighbor; clsg with notify

Long Syntax: BGP6.007 Closing connection to neighbor neighbor with notification

Description: Some error in the connection Finite State Machine resulted in this message.

Cause: An error in the connection Finite State Machine resulted in connection termination.

Action: Note other connection errors that occur with this event.

BGP6.008 

Level: U-INFO

Short Syntax: BGP6.008 Conn err to neighbor; clsg with no notify

Long Syntax: BGP6.008 Closing connection to neighbor neighbor without notification

Description: Some error in the connection Finite State Machine resulted in this message, usually because this speaker received a NOTIFICATION message and there is no reason to send another one back to the neighbor who sent this.

Cause: An error in the connection Finite State Machine resulted in connection termination.

Action: Note other connection errors that occur along with this one.

BGP6.009 

Level: UI-ERROR

Short Syntax: BGP6.009 Foreign close from neighbor sprt sourceport dprt destinationport

Long Syntax: BGP6.009 Foreign close from neighbor neighbor source port sourceport destination port destinationport

Description: The speaker just received a foreign close.

Cause: Neighbor is issuing a close.

Action: Neighbor should issue a close after a notification or during BGP6 ID negotiation. If this is the case, no action is necessary. If a connection closes for reasons other than these, the neighbor is in error.

BGP6.010 

Level: U-INFO

Short Syntax: BGP6.010 Reinit BGP6 conn to neighbor

Long Syntax: BGP6.010 Reinitialize the BGP6 connection to neigbor neighbor

Description: If a previous connection to this neighbor resulted in termination, the speaker reinitiates the connection. This message is printed when this occurs.

Cause: Speaker is reinitializing a connection to this neighbor after an initial failure.

Action: None, unless this happens many times with no connection to the neighbor.

BGP6.011 

Level: U-INFO

Short Syntax: BGP6.011 Conn to neighbor clsg with no notify

BGP6.013 

Level: UI-ERROR

Short Syntax: BGP6.013 TCP open fail to neighbor

Long Syntax: BGP6.013 TCP open failure to BGP6 neighbor neighbor

Description: The BGP6 speaker initiates a tcp_listen request in order to receive connection requests from neighbors. This message is printed when the invocation to this function fails.

Cause: The open to the TCP subsystem failed.

Action: Serious problem. Check amount of heap memory available to router.

BGP6.014 

Level: U-INFO

Short Syntax: BGP6.014 Conn timer fired for neighbor

Long Syntax: BGP6.014 Connection timer fired for neighbor neighbor

Description: A connection timer is used to continue attempts to make active connections from this speaker to this neighbor. The firing of this timer causes the speaker to quit the previous tcp_open and issue another tcp_open.

Cause: The connection timer fired because no neighbor connection was completed in the specified time.

Action: None. Connection process will continue until connection to neighbor completes.

BGP6.015 

Level: U-INFO

Short Syntax: BGP6.015 conn to neighbor open on sprt sourceport dprt destinationport

Action: None. This is an informational message.

BGP6.017 

Level: UI-ERROR

Short Syntax: BGP6.017 Bad msg len from neighbor sprt sourceport dprt destinationport

Long Syntax: BGP6.017 Bad message length received from neighbor neighbor source port sourceport destination port destinationport

Description: The message length is checked when received. This message is printed if the length of the received message is smaller than the expected message header size.

Cause: This is probably caused by some device driver error or defect in the software either with the speaker or the neighbor.

Action: Determine if this happens with other neighbors. If yes, suspect some problem with this router; else, there is probably a problem with the neighbor. This is a serious error that might require information from many sources.

BGP6.018 

Level: U-INFO

Short Syntax: BGP6.018 Resending OPEN message to neighbor without capabilities negotiation.

Long Syntax: BGP6.018 Resending OPEN message to neighbor without capabilities negotiation.

Description: If the BGP6 peer responds to the initial OPEN with a notification indicating Unsupported Capabilities, the OPEN is resent without the Capabilities negotiation option.

Action: None. This is an informational message.

BGP6.019 

Level: UI-ERROR

Short Syntax: BGP6.019 Bad msg type from neighbor sprt sourceport dprt destinationport

Long Syntax: BGP6.019 Bad message type from neighbor neighbor source port sourceport destination port destinationport

Description: BGP messages can be only of four types: OPEN, UPDATE, NOTIFICATION, and KEEPALIVE. This message is printed if the type is something other than the ones expected.

Cause: Since message types are among the most basic pieces of BGP information, this is probably the result of a garbled message.

Action: Determine if this happens with other neighbors. If yes, suspect some problem with this router; else, there is probably a problem with the neighbor. This is a serious error that requires information from many sources.
