 Hi !!

i tried to install bird in Solaris (SunOS  5.10 Generic_118833-33 sun4u sparc SUNW,Netra-240) but could not get the luck, may be Sun Os doesn't support bird!!! So i installed FreeBSD in Netra-240 and then installed Bird (it was quite easy). Now I configured BGP.When did BGP peering with interface ip, BGP estalibshed but when i did same with loopback ips, BGP establishment failed.(note: both loopback ips can be ping from each other).My scenario:

case1: BGP peering with loopback ips

[Router1]------bgp------[Bird]

Configuration:
Router1:

Router1#sh ip int brief
Interface                  IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol
FastEthernet0/0            192.168.157.132 YES NVRAM  up                    up         
Loopback0                  30.30.30.1           YES NVRAM  up                    up 

Router1#sh run | sec bgp
router bgp 300
 no synchronization
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 neighbor 20.20.20.1 remote-as 200
 neighbor 20.20.20.1 ebgp-multihop 3
 neighbor 20.20.20.1 update-source Loopback0
 no auto-summary

Router1#ping 20.20.20.1

Type escape sequence to abort.

BIRD:

protocol bgp R2_loopbk {

                description "My R2_loopbk BGP";
                local as 200;
                neighbor 30.30.30.1 as 300;
                source address 20.20.20.1;
                import all;
                export all;
                        }

With above configuration, i cannot get bgp establishment.So below are my questions:

1) Can we install bird in Solaris 10? 
2) Why with above configurations, BGP fails?Is there any thing i am missing?
3) when i use multihop in bird configuration file, it gives configuration error!!

Thank you for u're  support!!!!!
