BFD not working logical bundle-ethernet

hamalawy1 · ‎11-27-2013

I was wondering what could be wrong if i'm trying to configure BGP BFD under logical bundle-ethernet.

here's the scenario in short words

i'm establishing a B2B VRF between 2 GSR routers with IOS-XR 4.2.3 . BGP peering is established over B2B vrfs between the two GSRs over bundle-ethernet subinterfaces.

the problem is that BFD isn't coming up.

BFD over logical bundles is supported and i managed to configure it a few months ago. but now it won't.

any help is appreciated

Hi

I am fighting with the same case: CRS-2-Nexus via bundle + BGP and still no success

I have got 4.2.4 on CRS-3 - I am goint to open the case for this issue. It looks for me like a bug in 4.2.0 software.

Check the output form sho bfd session.

Do you have the same ADMIN DOWN status ?

CRS:

interface Bundle-Ether1000

bfd address-family ipv4 destination 1.1.1.2

ipv4 address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.252

bfd

!

interface Bundle-Ether1000

echo disable

!

router bgp 65000

neighbor 1.1.1.2

remote-as 65400

bfd fast-detect

bfd multiplier 3

bfd minimum-interval 500

!

NEXUS:

feature bfd

interface port-channel1000

bfd interval 500 min_rx 500 multiplier 3

no bfd echo

router bgp 65400

neighbor 1.1.1.1 remote-as 65000

bfd

And still I see on CSR:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:#sho bfd session

I believe BFD over logical interfaces is not needed

So:

interface Bundle-Ether1000

no bfd address-family ipv4 destination 1.1.1.2

no bfd

Registring BFD with BGP as you did already should be enough:

router bgp 65000

neighbor 1.1.1.2

remote-as 65400

bfd fast-detect

!

bfd multiplier 3

bfd minimum-interval 500

BoB and BLB shouldn't be compared in terms of which one is better or worse because they serve a different purpose. It's all a matter of what you need. BoB protects the bundle itself and on top that applications that decide to run BFD with the same peer inherit the BFD state from BoB. But it only works with directly attached L3 peer.

BLB is a multi-path BFD by definition. You can use it to run BFD with peers that are multiple hops away.

in my case, just put this simple command and BFD over Bundle-ether is work:

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:RC11#conf t
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:RC11(config)#bfd
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:RC11(config-bfd)#multipath include location 0/0/CPU0
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:RC11(config-bfd)#commit
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:RC11(config-bfd)#end
