BGP State

BGP State



Idle                    The BGP process is either administratively down or awaiting the next retry

                           attempt.


Connect             The BGP process is waiting for the TCP connection to be completed. You
                            cannot determine from this state information whether the TCP connection
                            can complete.

Active                 The TCP connection has been completed, but no BGP messages have yet
                             been sent to the peer.


Opensent              he TCP connection exists, and a BGP Open message has been sent to the
                               peer, but the matching Open message has not yet been received from the
                              other router.


Openconfirm         An Open message has been both sent to and received from the other router.
                                The next step is to receive a BGP Keepalive message (to confirm that all
                                neighbor-related parameters match) or a BGP Notification message (to learn
                                 that there is some mismatch in neighbor parameters).

Established           ll neighbor parameters match, the neighbor relationship works, and the
                              peers can now exchange Update messages.
