okay .. question on that.

if ipv6 is independent of ipv4, especially from a protocol perspective, then what / why is there a dependency with ipv4 router-id in ipv6 protocols..

hope that question makes sense.

Thanks

of IPv6, you need to have either an IPv4 interface up and running or
manually specify a router id. Routing protocols right now are using 32-bit
router-id values which correspond nicely to IPv4, but not to IPv6!

So do "show ip interface brief" and see what's up and running.

GS,

I cannot think of a logical reason for the error below, never encountered
it before and bgp running fine without hardcoding a router-id, now its
asking for it.
Any ideas?

TIA

configure manually.
