Monitoring BFD

This section lists the system event logs associated with the BFD protocol and describes the show commands you can use to view BFD-related information.

System Event Logs

To troubleshoot and monitor BFD, use the following system event logs:

• bfdGeneral
• bfdSession
• bfdEvents
• bgpConnections
• isisBfdEvents
• ospfEvents
• ospfv3General
• ripBfdLog

For more information about using event logs, see the JUNOSe System Event Logging Reference Guide, Chapter 1, .

Viewing BFD Information

You can monitor the following aspects of BFD by using the following show commands:

 To Display
 Command

 BFD session information

 show bfd session


 BFD license key information

 show license bfd



 

You can use the output filtering feature of the show command to include or exclude lines of output based on a text string that you specify. See JUNOSe System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, Command-Line Interface, for details.

show license bfd

• Use to display the bfd license key configured on the router.
• Example

host1#show license bfd

BFD license is bfd_license

show bfd session

• Use to display BFD protocol session information.
• Use the address keyword to specify an IPv4 or IPv6 session that you want to view.
• Use the detail keyword to view more detailed information about the BFD session.
• Field descriptions

• Address—IP address of the remote interface with which the session is established. In unnumbered cases, the remote interface provides its reference IP address.
• State—State of the BFD session, Up or Down
• Interface—Interface on which the BFD session has been established
• Detect/Detection Time—Time (in seconds) taken to declare the remote interface down when no packets are received from that interface
• Local discriminator—Value used to identify the session at the local end
• Remote discriminator—Value used to identify the session at the remote end
• Session up time—Amount of time the session has been operational since the last session down event in days:hours:minutes:seconds format.
• Up/Down count—Number of times up/down transitions have occurred on the session
• Adaptivity—Number of times this session has adapted its intervals, or that additional adaptivity is disabled for this BFD session on the router
• Local

• min tx interval—Minimum transmit interval (in seconds) configured on the session at the local end
• min rx interval—Minimum receive interval (in seconds) configured on the session at the local end
• multiplier—Multiplier configured on the session at the local end

• (Adapted)

• min tx interval—Minimum transmit interval (in seconds) to which the session is adapted at the local end
• min rx interval—Minimum receive interval (in seconds) to which the session is adapted at the local end
• multiplier—Multiplier to which the session is adapted at the local end

• Remote

• min tx interval—Minimum transmit interval (in seconds) configured on the session at the remote end
• min rx interval—Minimum receive interval (in seconds) configured on the session at the remote end
• multiplier—Multiplier configured on the session at the remote end

• Up/Down count—Number of up/down transitions that have occurred on the session
• Local diagnostic—Reason at the local end for the last session down event
• Remote diagnostic—Reason at the remote end for the last session down event
• Remote heard/Remote not heard—Whether the local end is receiving packets from the remote end
• hears us/doesn't hear us—Whether the remote end is receiving packets from the local end
• Min async interval—Minimum interval (in seconds) between packets sent when in asynchronous mode
• min slow interval—Minimum interval (in seconds) between packets when the remote end is first being detected
• Echo mode—State of echo mode (enabled or disabled; active or inactive)
• Client—Name of the client

• desired tx—Minimum transmit interval (in seconds) requested by the client
• required rx—Minimum required receive interval (in seconds) specified by the client
• multiplier—Multiplier requested by the client
