Morning all.

Ive just installing a Zywall 310 (Firmware Version:V4.71(AAAB.0) / 2022-02-22 20:44:02)
I have a interface connected to a network where there are two BGP neighbors. I have ping connectivity to them both.

Diags >

Router# show bgp summary
Neighbor        AS          MsgRcvd  MsgSent  TblVer   InQ    OutQ   Up/Down   State/PfxRcd
===============================================================================
172.xxx     65001       10       5        0        0      0      never     Idle
172.xxx     65001       12       6        0        0      0      never     Idle


Ive tried changing few things on the 310 but still the same.
Doing a packet capture i see im getting this from both neighbors >>

Border Gateway Protocol - OPEN Message
Type: NOTIFICATION Message (3)
Major error Code: Cease (6)
Minor error Code (Cease): Connection Rejected (5)



Any pointers / Suggestions please?

Thanks in advance

    Emerald,
    Please check the security policy settings on your ZyWALL310.
    You need to allow peer IP to access TCP port 179 on your ZyWALL310.
