bfd-liveness-detection (Routing Options Static Route)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure bidirectional failure detection timers and authentication criteria for static routes.

Options

authentication algorithm algorithm-name —Configure the algorithm used to authenticate the specified BFD session: simple-password, keyed-md5, keyed-sha-1, meticulous-keyed-md5, or meticulous-keyed-sha-1.

authentication key-chain key-chain-name—Associate a security key with the specified BFD session using the name of the security keychain. The name you specify must match one of the keychains configured in the authentication-key-chains key-chain statement at the [edit security] hierarchy level.

authentication loose-check—(Optional) Configure loose authentication checking on the BFD session. Use only for transitional periods when authentication may not be configured at both ends of the BFD session.

detection-time threshold milliseconds—Configure a threshold for the adaptation of the BFD session detection time. When the detection time adapts to a value equal to or greater than the threshold, a single trap and a single system log message are sent.

echo—(Optional) Enable BFD echo mode. This feature sends BFD echo packets back and forth from a neighboring device to ensure that a forwarding path is available. BFD echo mode only works if the neighboring device supports BFD.

echo-lite—(Optional) Enable BFD echo-lite mode. This feature performs the same function as BFD echo mode but it works even if the neighboring device does not support BFD.

holddown-interval milliseconds—Configure an interval specifying how long a BFD session must remain up before a state change notification is sent. If the BFD session goes down and then comes back up during the hold-down interval, the timer is restarted.

  • Range: 0 through 255,000

  • Default: 0

local-address ip-address—Enable a multihop BFD session and configure the source address for the BFD session.

minimum-interval milliseconds—Configure the minimum interval after which the local routing device transmits a hello packet and then expects to receive a reply from the neighbor with which it has established a BFD session. Optionally, instead of using this statement, you can configure the minimum transmit and receive intervals separately using the transmit-interval minimum-interval and minimum-receive-interval statements.

  • Range: 1 through 255,000

minimum-receive-interval milliseconds—Configure the minimum interval after which the routing device expects to receive a reply from a neighbor with which it has established a BFD session. Optionally, instead of using this statement, you can configure the minimum receive interval using the minimum-interval statement at the [edit routing-options static route destination-prefix bfd-liveness-detection] hierarchy level.

  • Range: 1 through 255,000

minimum-receive-ttl number—Configure the time to live (TTL) for the multihop BFD session.

  • Range: 1 through 255

  • Default: 255

multiplier number—Configure number of hello packets not received by the neighbor that causes the originating interface to be declared down.

  • Range: 1 through 255

  • Default: 3

neighbor address—Configure a next-hop address for the BFD session for a next hop specified as an interface name.

no-adaptation—Specify for BFD sessions not to adapt to changing network conditions. We recommend that you not disable BFD adaptation unless it is preferable not to have BFD adaptation enabled in your network.

transmit-interval threshold milliseconds—Configure the threshold for the adaptation of the BFD session transmit interval. When the transmit interval adapts to a value greater than the threshold, a single trap and a single system message are sent. The interval threshold must be greater than the minimum transmit interval.

  • Range: 0 through 4,294,967,295

transmit-interval minimum-interval milliseconds—Configure the minimum interval at which the routing device transmits hello packets to a neighbor with which it has established a BFD session. Optionally, instead of using this statement, you can configure the minimum transmit interval using the minimum-interval statement at the [edit routing-options static route destination-prefix bfd-liveness-detection] hierarchy level.

  • Range: 1 through 255,000

version—Configure the BFD version to detect: 1 (BFD version 1) or automatic (autodetect the BFD version).

  • Default: automatic

Required Privilege Level

routing—To view this statement in the configuration.

routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
