well, yes. IOS-XR only supports BFD for a bundle-vlan, or, what would be
ok for you, BFD for each bundle-member. This way, BFD will run on each
physical member, and the system will remove the member from the bundle if
BFD fails. If the last member leaves, the bundle goes down, and the
protocols will see the link going down. This is IMHO superior as each
physical link is tested individually. Please check
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/crs/software/crs_r4.0/interfaces/co
nfiguration/guide/hc40bifw.html#wp1040061 for instructions..
please note that this feature requires XR on both ends of the links.
