Hi everyone,

I have a problem in iBGP between Cisco 7301 and juniper mx series router
where the BGP got flapped throwing the following error in cisco end:

%BGP-3-NOTIFICATION: received from neighbor 119.227.0.65 3/9 (unsupported
option specified) 0 bytes
%BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor 119.227.0.65 Down BGP Notification received

%BGP-3-NOTIFICATION: received from neighbor 119.227.0.65 6/5 (cease) 0 bytes

and found the following log in juniper

rpd[1296]: bgp_read_v4_update:9690: NOTIFICATION sent to 210.18.0.181
(Internal AS 9583): code 3 (Update Message Error) subcode 9 (error with
optional attribute), Reason: peer 210.18.0.181 (Internal AS 9583) UPDATE -
NLRI inet6-unicast not negotiated
rpd[1296]: Received BAD update from 210.18.0.181 (Internal AS 9583), family
inet6-unicast(16), prefix 2a02:2158::/32

So is this problem caused by the prefix 2a02:2158::/32 because of it
invalid attribute? or is it because of any mismatch SAFI update between the
routers?

Please suggest.


Warm Regards,
Thiyagarajan B.
