        When I say wonderfully. BGPd would start but still wouldn't start on boot.

        [2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@FW.localdomain]/root: service frr status
        zebra is running as pid 50181.
        babeld is not running.
        bfdd is not running.
        bgpd is not running.
        eigrpd is not running.
        fabricd is not running.
        isisd is not running.
        ospfd is not running.
        ospf6d is not running.
        ripd is not running.

          indeed?

          on pfSense, a package will not start, if the conditions are not specified...
          (or missconfigured)

          without any problems we run this package, so you have the fault...etc. etc..
          can you give a more detailed description of logs, network topology, etc,

            Is there a way to log FRR status change? Like I said earlier it doesn't seem to be logging to /var/log/frr/

            As for BGP config

            I'm using this PF to BGP to 4 ipv4 neighbors and 2 ipv6 neighbors. I am using Network Distribution to distribute 15 routes across.

            I am using Prefix Lists to limit what gets shared to which neighbor.

            Along with Route Maps.

            I can not take a look at my bgp config because bgpd is not running.

            bgpd is not running

            Aug 4 12:07:31 php-fpm 350 /pkg_edit.php: FRR OSPF6d: No config data found.
            Aug 4 12:07:31 php-fpm 350 /pkg_edit.php: FRR OSPFd: No config data found.
            Aug 4 12:07:31 check_reload_status Syncing firewall

            That is the only System Logs -> General that is being displayed nothing about bgpd

              of course, when the running the package...?!

              current version of pfSense?
              he, will be your man.... @viktor_g

              this is an abnormal behavior from FRR (pkg) ()...😉
              (or something is misconfigured, I leave that to myself)

                I am running the latest version of pfsense.

                When I ripped out all of the FRR config on this server and reapplied one option at a time neighborship at a time BGP would start and stay started.

                Is there something with pfSense's FRR where config changes are not fully applied or applied in an odd timing.

                  When I enter data in from the GUI it's like the config isn't taking all of my options. Hence the reason the service checks my config and fails.

                  If I enter all my config from CLI via vtysh it works.

                  Is there something with adding information to GUI that is not working properly?

                  Can I just upload my cli config and have it populate the GUI?

                      The config looks like the following. When I try to recreate all items in the GUI I don't see anything wrong but at some point, bgpd fails to start.

                      I've modified IP's as i am posting this public's so none of the IP's are real.

                        When I create all of that via GUI something crashes the bgpd service. But if I paste that via CLI it works.

                        I can do it all again and show you the service failing. But it would be better if frr log something. /var/log/frr/

                          @juesor After completing the FRR WebGUI configuration, try to run it from the console:
                          # zebra --log --log-level debug -f /var/etc/frr/zebra.conf
                          and
                          # zebra --log --log-level debug -f /var/etc/frr/bgpd.conf

                          You can also create a redmine issue:
