Hi Derek,
Your BGP session is in an IDLE state because the router can't open a TCP session with the remote device. I think you might be running into difficulties because you're using the penultimate IPv6 address in a /126 subnet, which is problematic due to RFC2526. Said RFC is usually implemented in Brocade switching products like the FastIron or BigIron series. For devices positioned in the market as a router, e.g. the NetIron series which your CER is a part of, this behaviour is not there.
You could ask Zayo to reconfigure your session toward the last IPv6 address in the subnet - this address is available in IPv6 because the protocol doesn't support broadcast at all. To illustrate my point with the last chunk of your IPv6 address on interface ethernet 3/24 while your subnet mask is /126:
1af4 = network
1af5 = Zayo
1af6 = reserved for RFC2526
1af7 = usable for your router
Or, you could ask Zayo to replace the existing linknet with a slightly larger subnet (a /125 would work). This would move the RFC2526 reserved address a bit further backwards so you'd be able to peer with Zayo using the first two addresses in the subnet.
Best regards,
Martijn Schmidt
