RE: BGP neighbor not neighbor up

Funny you are asking this question. I had this exact problem about 5
minutes ago and was going to ask how to solve it. Lab16 by any chance?
Trace from r3 to r5 or look at r3 routing table. You will probably see
it using r4 as a next hop.

On one of the OSPF questions it asked you to prefer r4 due to it having
a high bw link. I did this with the ospf neigh cost command, the cause
of the problem I guess. To work around this (2 minute fix as I lazy) I
just configured the ebgp-multihop command on r3 for r5 so that traffic
can route through R4

Any body know how to produce a real fix for this?

Subject: BGP neighbor not neighbor up

R3 connects to R4 and R5 via FR. R3 is the hub.

For some reason, R3 and R5 does not form BGP neighbor relationship. The
show ip bgp sum status shows OpenSent on one side and OpenConfirm on
another
side. Any suggestion?
