Configuring BFD for static routes

IMPORTANT:

Enabling BFD for a flapping route could worsen the situation.

BFD provides a general-purpose, standard, medium-, and protocol-independent fast failure detection

mechanism. It can uniformly and quickly detect the failures of the bidirectional forwarding paths between

two routers for protocols, such as routing protocols and MPLS.
For more information about BFD, see High Availability Configuration Guide.

Bidirectional control mode

To use BFD bidirectional control detection between two devices, enable BFD control mode for each
device's static route destined to the peer.
To configure a static route and enable BFD control mode for it, specify an output interface and a direct

next hop, or specify an indirect next hop and a specific BFD packet source address for the static route.
To configure BFD control mode for a static route (direct next hop):

Configure BFD
control mode for a

static route.

Method 1:
ip route-static dest-address { mask-length | mask }

interface-type interface-number next-hop-address

bfd control-packet [ preference preference-value ]
[ tag tag-value ] [ description description-text ]

Method 2:

ip route-static vpn-instance s-vpn-instance-name
dest-address
{ mask-length | mask } interface-type

interface-number next-hop-address bfd

control-packet [ preference preference-value ] [ tag
tag-value ] [ description description-text ]

Use either method.
By default, BFD control
mode for a static route is

not configured.
