[c-nsp] BFD on PortChannel interface (IOS-XE)

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out if BFD is supported on a PortChannel
interface on IOS-XE (3.1.0S) on ASR1006. Configuration is accepted but
then the session never comes up:

>From this output it looks like the box is not receiving any BFD
packets, but if I disconnect the PortChannel and do it on a native
interface - it comes up fine:

(different interface on the same device)

The configuration is exactly the same in both cases:


 bfd interval 999 min_rx 999 multiplier 3
 isis bfd

on the Portchannel I can only set timers to 999ms as minimum, on the
physical interface it allows to go down to 50ms.

It there something else that should be configured, or is it simply not
supported? I looked through the bugs, but can't find anything that
looks relevant.

kind regards
