[f-nsp] Max BGP peers BigIron RX4

[jazzy JPZ]

Hi,

That's interesting.

Does the RX series support the 'show ip bgp debug' cmd list? It's hidden up
to the point of 'debug'. If you can get that far, take a look around in
there, especially 'show ip bgp debug memory' & just the plain 'show ip bgp
debug'. Maybe something will stick out.

I want to say the router dynamically allocates memory for certain fields up
to a certain dynamic max related to other parts of BGP like # of routes. Do
you have soft-reconfig turned on? Maybe try turning that off and see if it
frees up any more BGP peers. Brocade software can be a little dodgy at times
and not well documented.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just some sort of bug. We've had
stranger things happen when it comes to a bug on the Brocades.

Sincerely.
