Verifying Your Session
After configuring your BGP daemon and starting the service, verify the session is established and your prefixes are being announced.
| Daemon | Command |
|---|
| BIRD | birdc show protocols all digitalfyre_ipv4 |
| FRRouting | vtysh -c "show bgp summary" |
| OpenBGPD | bgpctl show neighbor |
DigitalFyre’s BGP service is fully self-managed. If you encounter session issues, verify your configuration locally before contacting support. Common issues include incorrect neighbor addresses, missing RPKI ROAs, and firewall rules blocking TCP port 179.
