Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)

Read this topic to know about the support for Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) in the Juniper Cloud-Native router.

The Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol is a simple hello mechanism that detects failures in a network. A pair of routing devices exchange BFD packets. The devices send hello packets at a specified, regular interval. The device detects a neighbor failure when the routing device stops receiving a reply after a specified interval. The cloud-native router supports both single-hop and multihop BFD. Review the Understanding BFD topic for more information.

Configuration

The following configlet configures BFD on internal BGP peer session with BGP neighbor 192.168.1.3.

Verification

You can verify the BFD configuration on the cRPD shell.

Verify BGP Summary

Verify the BGP summary using the show bgp summary command.

Verify BFD Sessions

Verify BFD sessions between the iBGP peers using the show bfd session command.
