[j-nsp] BGP session is not coming up

[Matthias Gelbhardt]

Hi!

We have a problem with a BGP session. The session is not coming up,  
and I dont know why. It is a eBGP session:

Log:

Jul 22 08:30:08  muenster /kernel: tcp_auth_ok: Packet from x.x.x.x: 
179 missing MD5 digest

tracelog:

Jul 22 08:50:16.426122 bgp_connect_complete: error connecting to  
x.x.x.x (External AS x): Socket is not connected

tcpdump;

08:49:07.632649 Out IP x.x.x.x.60582 > x.x.x.x.179: S  
594093001:594093001(0) win 16384 <mss 1460,nop,wscale  
0,nop,nop,timestamp[|tcp]>

config:

group external {
     type external;
     neighbor xx {
         description uplink_;
         local-address xx;
         import import_bgp_;
         inactive: authentication-key "$9$u-xxx"; ## SECRET-DATA
         export [ export_prepend export_bgp_external ];
         peer-as xx;
     }
}

Any ideas?

Leaving the MD5 does not work, I even have restartet the routing  
process with no luck.
