Hello,

I am in situation to establish BFD with BGP between Juniper and CIsco.

Please find the below config at both end.

However i am not able to see the Session established between the two.

My bgp session is up.

Any help will be appreciated.

Junos

local-address x.x.x.x;

neighbor y.y.y.y {

    authentication-key "$9$olJUimPQ/9pgokmTzCAvWLXx-VwY4JGdV"; ## SECRET-DATA

    bfd-liveness-detection {

        minimum-interval 100;

        multiplier 3;

    }

}

BFD is not multi-hop aware.

Does that mean BFD can not support ibgp on loopback interfaces?

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_0s/feature/guide/fs_bfd.html says:

BFD works only for directly connected neighbors. BFD neighbors must be no more than one IP hop away. Multihop configurations are not supported.

but at the same time JunOS guide says it is:

The JUNOS software also supports BFD over multihop static routes.
