- MikroTik AI configurator — describe, get commands
BGP Active state means your router is trying to connect but TCP on port 179 is failing. Common causes:
- ACL blocking TCP port 179
- Wrong update-source (check loopback)
- AS number mismatch on either side
Run debug ip bgp X.X.X.X events to see the exact failure.
