[AusNOG] Microtik bgp issues

[Paul Julian]

+ 1 for this, common problem, we run quite a few BGP sessions without any issues really.

Check that you don't have any firewall rules blocking connections from your providers router to your router on port 179 - if you have a "drop all" on the input chain, BGP won't work

For example, a of the rules on one of my edge routers (above the "drop all" rule that is in place):

/ip firewall filter add chain=input comment="Allow <my provider> to access BGP" dst-port=179 protocol=tcp src-address=<providers router IP>

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone out there has had success with bgp on the microtik's and I can pick your brain? 

I've got a CCR1009 and I'm struggling to get the BGP session established. Can telnet to 179 on my providers router and it looks like the settings I've got are correct but its failing to establish a connection...

Any suggestions? 

Or anyone do any consulting on list that can give me a (paid) hand at all?
