[comp.sys.proteon] EGP on p4200 gateways.

hwb@MCR.UMICH.EDU (Hans-Werner Braun) (01/10/88)

Did anyone before try to use EGP on a p4200 while NOT peering with
the Arpanet core? I just tried it out and got the following message:

EGP bd init nbr 35.1.1.11 rsn 7, ign

Unfortunately (unless I missed it) the manual does not explain what
"rsn 7" (presumably "reason seven?") is.

On page D-36 of my manual I found:

EGP bd init nbr %I rsn %d, ign 

as being "UCE: An initial neighbor was illegal and is being ignored"

The UCE is "User Configuration Error" (from page D-2).  The
%I, I assume, would be the Internet address of the problem
neighbor and the rsn would be a dispatch code (page D-6).
Ek, only 0 thru 5 are listed in my manual ("ProNet Series
p4200 Gateway Software User's Guide", Manual Rev A, Product
Rev 7.4, Nov. 1987).

 Yeah, Kurt, that's what I found, too, in the manual. "rsn 7" was not
 explained. Besides that, "neighbor was illegal" as defined by whom? I
 think my EGP neighbor was perfectly legal. It was just not the Arpanet
 core I peered with.
