hi all, I have tried administratively shut down BGP when my serial link goes down for a while but it didn't work Administratively shutting down the BGP won't help much in this case. It can only prevent the Serial flapping to not affect the BGP. But after the Serial is stable, then I turn the BGP up again then the BGP will start flapping. Because there was once I move my router to another UPS which means I have to shut down the router, after the serial is up and stable the BGP still flapping. It was outside the sun outage window and the serial was stable before and after I move my router but the BGP is flapping. There was once also I tried to temporarily not advertising any routes to you to prevent my network get dampened. The serial is stable but the BGP is flapping. This is almost the same with shutting down the BGP like you advised. But this way I can see whether my BGP is flapping or not without risking my network to be dampened. With the BGP shutted down I cannot see whether the BGP is stable or not. Jason **NOTE: New CCNA/CCDA List has been formed.
