BGP Notification Message (3), length: 21, OPEN Message Error (2), subcode Authentication Failure
When Junos is configured for an external BGP session with a neighbor not directly connected, without the "multihop ttl 2" configuration statement, it will fail to accept the neighbor with a notification message following the open message:
Code:
Notification Message (3), length: 21, OPEN Message Error (2), subcode Authentication Failure (5)
There is no fix, but correct configuration: if ebgp neighbor is not directly connected, it's mandatory to:
Code:
# set protocols bgp group <GROUP> multihop ttl 2
Under group or under neighbor.
