Re: EBGP strange situation

I have clear PINGs to the BB router. No password is required. And even if it
requires authentication it wouldn't show as IDLE with no messages received
at all. Neighborship is between direct ethernet IP addresses.

Also I checked the Ethernet switch on which the routers are connected and no
thing strange at all.

Guys,
If I configured a specific ROUTER-ID for my EDGE router does this affect the
neighborship with the BB router?
In otherwords does the router-id may be a reason for this problem!
