[c-nsp] BFD on ASR 9000

[Marc Binderberger]

Hello Gerd and Chams,

> My guess is that your unnamed firewall doesn't do BFD...

that is problem #2  ;-) - but it still should show up with "show bfd session"
on the ASR9k as a DOWN session.

The eBGP session must be non-multihop, i.e. it must be between the
addresses of the link ASR9k--FW. I assume this is what you mean
with point-to-point?

BFD really doesn't know anything about "i" or "e"-BGP. All it requires
is a "bfd fast-detect" line under the BGP neighbor.

What is "show bfd client" showing?


Regards, Marc
