Hi,<br><br>That's interesting.<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br><br>Sincerely.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 8:23 AM, Pieter Taks <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:p.taks@nforce.nl">p.taks@nforce.nl</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">While configuring a new peer on an BigIron RX4 we got the following error:</p>
