BFD echo mode

With BFD echo mode enabled for a static route, the local switch sends BFD echo packets to the peer,
which loops it back to test the link.
Follow these guidelines when you configure BFD echo mode for static routes:

Enabling BFD for a flapping route could worsen the situation.

Do not use BFD for a static route with the output interface in spoofing state.

BFD can be used for static routes with direct next hops rather than indirect next hops.

A BFD session is established at only one end when the echo mode is used.

For the echo and control mode, the switch does not support BFD detection on tunnel interfaces.
