[j-nsp] bgp peer flapping

[james list]

Dear all
I’ve a question: is it correct from your point of view that if I change the
BGP group name on my MX the BGP peer inside the group goes to flap ?

Ie:

*replace pattern test1 with test2*

*# show | compare*

*[edit protocols bgp]*

*+    group test2 {*

*+        type external;*

*+        neighbor 10.1.1.1 {*

*+            peer-as 1;*

*+        }*

*+    }*

*     group test3 { ... }*

*[edit protocols bgp]*

*-    group test1 {*

*-        type external;*

*-        neighbor 10.1.1.1 {*

*-            peer-as 1;*

*-        }*

*-    }*

After few seconds it’s up…



xxx# run show bgp summary | match 10.1.1.1

10.1.1.1        1        45        34       0       0       00:02
