<![CDATA[OpenBGPd]]>I use OpenBGPd to connect to Internet.
It is disconnecting randomly. Status page still shows its up when it is disconnected.
I have to run /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bgpd.sh start manually each time when it disconnect.

Is there a way to auto reconnect a BGP session when it is down?

I addressed the disconnecting problem, it was my hardware.

I tried 2.0.3 32-bit and 2.1 beta 32-bit on 2 different J&W MINIX™ D2550-HD, same issue.

When I replaced the motherboard with a Supermicro X9SCA-F, it's all working fine. No disconnection in 3 days.

I guess that your daemon crashes and in your Systemlogs => Routing is something written as "route already set"…
Sometime this happened here, too (first BGP then with OSPF) when setting it up.

It can be also a problem that you have multiple gateways and one or more gateway groups (BGP with single leased line would not make sense ^^)...
If your firewalls think that gateways are down they reroute the default gw... but now it has to be the task of bgpd and not pfSense failover scripts ;)

You need to be more detailed and provide config and logs.
