[f-nsp] BGP-BFD on CER2024 / Netiron

[Cenk Kücük]

Hi!
We are trying to set up BGP-BFD on a CER2024 running version 6.2.0aT183.
Our configuration looks like this:


bfd sh-session-setup-delay 5

interface ethernet 1/6
enable
no fdp enable
no cdp enable
no spanning-tree
sflow forwarding

vlan 3000 name "Vlan 3000"
tagged ethe 1/6
router-interface ve 3000

vlan 3001 name "Vlan 3001"
tagged ethe 1/6
router-interface ve 3001

interface ve 3000
bfd interval 2000 min-rx 2000 multiplier 4
ip address 1.1.1.1/31
!

SSH at c13-1#show run int ve 3001
interface ve 3001
bfd interval 2000 min-rx 2000 multiplier 4
ip address 2.2.2.1/31

router bgp
local-as 15594
bfd-enable
auto-shutdown-new-neighbors
default-local-preference 110
fast-external-fallover

neighbor 1.1.1.2 remote-as 12345
neighbor 1.1.1.2 password 2 SECRET
neighbor 1.1.1.2 bfd min-tx 200 min-rx 200 multiplier 4
neighbor 1.1.1.2 bfd holdover-interval 5

neighbor 2.2.2.2 remote-as 12345
neighbor 2.2.2.2 password 2 SECRET
neighbor 2.2.2.2 bfd min-tx 200 min-rx 200 multiplier 4
neighbor 2.2.2.2 bfd holdover-interval 5

address-family ipv4 unicast
neighbor 1.1.1.2 prefix-list BGP-3000-IN in
neighbor 1.1.1.2 prefix-list BGP-3000-OUT out
neighbor 2.2.2.2 prefix-list BGP-3001-IN in
neighbor 2.2.2.2 prefix-list BGP-3001-OUT out



According to our peer (Juniper MX system) they are only running BGP-BFD,
not BFD on the interface. We tried our configuration with or without BFD on
the interfaces ve3000/ve3001. In any case, "show ip bgp neighbors $IP"
always says "BFD: Disabled". "show bfd" says:

BFD State: ENABLED Version: 1 Use PBIF Assist: Y SH setup delay 5 MH setup
delay 0

ve 3001 2000 2000 4 0


show bfd neighbors
No BFD Neighbor found.


show bfd applications
Registered Protocols Count: 2
Protocol VRFID Parameter HoldoverInterval
bgp 0 0 0
static 0 1 0


We are not sure how to configure and/or debug BFD. Various "debug bfd *"
settings did not show any output.
Does anybody have any ideas about this?

Regards
Cenk
