Symptoms

Traffic that relies on BGP does not pass.
Output of Clish command 'show bgp peers' shows that the BGP peers would not reach the 'Established' state.
BGP peers were configured with 'local-address' option (either in Clish, or in Gaia Portal).
Traffic capture on BGP peers shows that BGP packets are sent out with source IP address of the outgoing interface instead of the IP address configured with 'local-address' option.

Cause

The IP address configured with 'local-address' option is not bound to the socket.

As a result, BGP packets are sent out with source IP address of the outgoing interface, which causes BGP peers to ignore these packets because another IP address is expected (per configuration).
