Hi Experts
I can't make an IPv6 iBGP peering up across Extreme switches, connected back to back. IPv4 peering is working fine. It appears Extreme has some recurring issues with IPv6 configuration.
I tried turning on and off BFD options, still it doesn't work. The BGP state is stuck in Active and there is no TCP connection coming up with ports (Remote Port/Local Port). Can anyone suggest if this is an OS bug or some other issue? BGP nei details below. Ping works fine across the switches.
