Hi all!
I am testing N9k in virtual environment:
NX-OSv9K is a demo version of the Nexus Operating System Software BIOS: version NXOS: version 7.0(3)I5(2) BIOS compile time: NXOS image file is: bootflash:///nxos.7.0.3.I5.2.bin NXOS compile time: 2/16/2017 8:00:00 [02/16/2017 17:03:27] Hardware cisco NX-OSv Chassis with 8160556 kB of memory. Processor Board ID 9DOV2BAZYKE Device name: NX2 bootflash: 3509454 kB Kernel uptime is 0 day(s), 5 hour(s), 18 minute(s), 9 second(s)
And try to establish BFD session:
interface Vlan99 bfd interval 500 min_rx 500 multiplier 3 no bfd echo bfd authentication Keyed-SHA1 key-id 1 hex-key 123 bfd ipv4 interval 500 min_rx 500 multiplier 3 ip ospf bfd router ospf 1 bfd
But session does not come up due to lack of resources:
NX2# sh bfd neighbors det OurAddr NeighAddr LD/RD RH/RS Holdown(mu lt) State Int Vrf 11.11.11.1 11.11.11.2 1090519041/0 Down N/A(3) Down Vlan99 default Session state is Down and not using echo function Local Diag: 0, Demand mode: 0, Poll bit: 0, Authentication: Keyed-SHA1 MinTxInt: 0 us, MinRxInt: 0 us, Multiplier: 0 Received MinRxInt: 0 us, Received Multiplier: 0 Holdown (hits): 0 ms (0), Hello (hits): 0 ms (0) Rx Count: 0, Rx Interval (ms) min/max/avg: 0/0/0 last: 0 ms ago Tx Count: 0, Tx Interval (ms) min/max/avg: 0/0/0 last: 0 ms ago Registered protocols: ospf Downtime: 0 days 0 hrs 17 mins 19 secs Last packet: Version: 0 - Diagnostic: 0 State bit: AdminDown - Demand bit: 0 Poll bit: 0 - Final bit: 0 Multiplier: 0 - Length: 24 My Discr.: 0 - Your Discr.: 0 Min tx interval: 0 - Min rx interval: 0 Min Echo interval: 0 - Authentication bit: 0 Hosting LC: 0, Down reason: No Diagnostic, Reason not-hosted: Req-resp status: n o resource NX2# sh logg last 5 2018 Jul 6 14:12:33 NX2 %BFD-5-SESSION_NO_RESOURCES: No resource for session to neighbor 11.11.11.2 on interface Vlan99 2018 Jul 6 14:13:19 NX2 last message repeated 1 time 2018 Jul 6 14:14:44 NX2 last message repeated 2 times 2018 Jul 6 14:16:20 NX2 last message repeated 2 times 2018 Jul 6 14:17:34 NX2 last message repeated 2 times
Please help, I do not want to test this on production network.

Hi - I have this exact problem running in EVE Lab.
At first I thought it was a TCAM resource issue with the virtual NXOS image so I re-adjusted the TCAM: taking resouces away from SPAN and aligning the 256 with what I thought BFD would be: - this didn't work.
hardware access-list tcam region SPAN 0
hardware access-list tcam region bfd-multihop 256
Also turned off ip redirects on the L3 interface running bfd - this does nothing either.
What I did notice after carving the TCAM was that the bfd session was no longer admin down - just down - but I suspect its just a limitation with the virtual switch image not supporting bfd echo in virtual hardware.
If you hear of a solution let me know...

Hello,
The BFD feature is just not supported on Nexus 9000v.

Hi Remi
Thanks for confirming, suspected it might be so...
Cheers.
