[c-nsp] BGP active open failed

[Vinny_Abello at Dell.com]

Although not exactly the same, I believe I've seen something similar before in newer versions of IOS. It wasn't on a Gig-E interface though. Mine was running BGP over a dialer interface (PPPoE with ADSL). The remote router's loopback showed directly connected via the Dialer interface, but the BGP session would not come up. I had to add ebgp-multihop to the configuration and it came right up. This wasn't required in this type of configuration in previous versions of IOS in the past. I don't think it's related to your situation, but if it's a bug this might help. Perhaps there is some reason it doesn't believe it's actually directly connected.

Subject: [c-nsp] BGP active open failed

I'm seeing a strange issue on one of my cisco 7206 routers.  I am 
currently running Version 12.2(33)SRE3

BGP: x.x.x.x Active open failed - update-source NULL is not available, 
open active delayed 9216ms (35000ms max, 60% jitter)

The bgp neighbor is directly connected on a gig interface and I even 
have the update-source command under the peer.  I also have a static 
default route from this router to our core router.  I'm not really sure 
whats going on here.  I'm wondering if this is a software bug.
