Hi,

Someone new to Juniper  Deployment might find this somewhat strange. The BGP neighbor flaps when BGP policies are applied at Neighbor level but not at their Group Level

Topology

————————————

R2 (9.9.23.2)——R3(9.9.23.3)

(9.9.12.2)

|

R1

(9.9.12.1)

—————————————

Both Neighbors are configured at [group] level

Now, let us add a Export Policy at neighbor level and see how it modifies the “show bgp group”

2

Lets see the output , how the BGP groups are split at neighbor level.

The above behavior is expected in a Juniper Networks Router by Design and is not a Anamoly.
