BGP resource failure - VR: 0x00000002

Cavan — Thu, 26 Jun 2014 01:19:00 GMT

I've seen this periodically in our BD 10K logs (version 1514b3-patch1-4) , often after an SNMP request is blocked by ACL though the events are about 1 minute apart. Manual doesn't seem to reveal any reason behind the error. Anyone else seen this BGP resource failure?

Hello Cavan,

This is just a warning message.
This is turned on by default in 15.x exos versions.
show log counter bgp --will let u know the default messages turned on.
we can simply turn it off as it is just a warning message.

Coming back to your question.
DC-BGP Update Manager has paused because of a resource failure.
Remedy for the above error is to make more memory available for BGP in the core switch.
Note:terminate sessions
Reduce the BGP table .

When you say "terminate sessions", do you mean there are too many BGP sessions?

Also, Is there a way to re-allocate memory on these 10K BD?

Thanks!
