Hello Mike,

(Thanks for your help with this, btw).

You did ask me to change next-hop to 10.0.0.122 which is the address
of the local host.
(I have changed next hop to 10.0.0.121 but no difference).

I think the peering is OK, as I receive the routes in "show bgp
routes". (But I'm new to xorp, so maybe not..)

Here is route -n

The problem being unable to ping .122 (local) was just a firewall rule.

The link is up, and fine:
