I don't have the session live anymore but my recollection after looking in the syslog is that I was trying to peer up with the loopback address and getting errors that the interface of the local interconnect couldn't establish peer.
As Harry Reynolds posted earlier, <snip> When lo0 peering, as long as both ends are active, you can get by with just one end correctly configured to use lo0 as source. Not so when neither end is. </snip> This explains why my C to J worked but the J to J did not. Thanks all. I will try this on my next window. -b -----Original Message----- From: Mark Tinka [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 9:52 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Bill Blackford Subject: Re: [j-nsp] Peering with loopback On Friday 05 February 2010 01:07:59 am Bill Blackford wrote: > I'm running a mixed environment of Juniper and Cisco and have noticed > some odd behavior with some of iBGP peers. > It's my understanding that Junos has no equivalent to the Cisco > 'update-source loobback0'.

Specify the 'local-address' feature as part of your session parametres.
