OpenBGPD First Time

[IEpchang]

Hi All,

We're trying to get OpenBGPD up and running so we can get connected to our Azure ExpressRoute Circuit.

We keep getting the following error under status : bgpctl: connect: /var/run/bgpd.sock: No such file or directory

Can someone help explain what that error means? Is it an incorrect config or is OpenBGPD just unable to locate the config file?

Our raw config looks like this:

This file was created by the package manager. Do not edit!

AS #####
fib-update yes
listen on xxx.xxx.xxx (1)
network
group "Azure" {
remote-as 12076
}
neighbor xxx.xxx.xxx (2) {
descr "Azure ExpressRoute"
announce all
local-address xxx.xxx.xxx (1)
}
deny from any
deny to any
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx (2)
allow to xxx.xxx.xxx (2)

This is resolved - it was a bad config error - config file location is alright. New Config is:

AS xxxx
fib-update yes
listen on 0.0.0.0
router-id xxx.xxx.xxx (1)
network xxx.xxx.xxx (azure subnet)/24
group "Azure" {
remote-as xxxx
neighbor xxx.xxx.xxx(2) {
descr "to_as_65001"
announce all
local-address 0.0.0.0
}
}
deny from any
deny to any
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx(2)
allow to xxx.xxx.xxx(2)
