Hi all,

While configuring a new peer on an BigIron RX4 we got the following error:
Error! BGP4 cannot allocate memory for peer 253

A PDF claims the following (http://www.terabitsystems.com/foundry-docs/Foundry-BigIron-RX-Series-Datasheet.pdf):
BGPv4: Scalable to 4 million routes, 500 peers and 14,000 attributes with MR2 management module

Is there any reason why it wouldn't want to configure more peering sessions?

-          I do not see any system-max setting for this

-          As well as I do not see any full memory yet

Hope someone knows how to resolve this or what is causing this error.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
