[Xorp-users] Issue in BGP Configuration

[Bruce M Simpson]

Hi,

Thanks for this.

I'm afraid this backtrace looks quite normal on its own -- the xorp_bgp 
process is sitting in the EventLoop, presumably processing inbound 
traffic. If it is waiting for something, it isn't clear what it is 
waiting for.

Based on the logs, it looks like you didn't continue the BGP process 
after breaking into it to get the backtrace, so I am guessing that the 
rest of the log entries are just collateral damage from this -- however 
-- it is very similar to the original issue you reported.

When the BGP daemon gets into this state, you might want to try firing 
basic XRLs at it from common.xif using the call_xrl tool to see if it's 
alive.

In your original configuration you are running only BGP, FIB2MRIB, the 
FEA, and the MFEA -- you are not running policy.

This is a bit of a long shot, but I still can't figure out what the real 
underlying problem is there: There have been recent changes in this 
area, as there were historical hacks necessary to get policy and bgp to 
start in the correct order. You might want to try configuring an empty 
policy {} block in the protocols {} block, and see if BGP still 'hangs'.

thanks
