[j-nsp] MPLS OAM not triggering LSP

Dear all,
I've tried BFD with LSPs but I wasn't able to make it work.
If you've the possibility to use a Tunnel PIC - with a ficticious interface (f.e. with private address)
and static routes (via the end-point of the interface you want to trigger) with BFD - is a good option,
it works for me: in the instant the triggered interface fails, BFD goes down and the tunnel too.
If you finally can use LSP's pleas keep us informed :)
Regards,
Dario D.

We couldn't find out what we are doing wrong. In my opinion, when BFD detects the failure, it should signal to the local router and say "this path is no longer available, you should find another way". We tested both secondary standby and link-protection options but nothing changed. We used both 7.6R4 and 8.1R3. Test lab consists of one m7i and J4300 connected via their ethernet links.

Switch configuration is done in such a way that (using VLANs) fe-1/3/0 of M7i and fe-0/0/0 of J4300 form the first path; fe-1/3/1 of M7i and fe-0/0/1 of J4300 form second path. To simulate a failure we plug off the fist cable between switch1 and switch2 so neither M7i nor J4300 knows this problem directly and only the first path (between fe-1/3/0 and fe-0/0/0) is affected. This way, we tried to simulate an indirect failure.
