Distributed mode support for fast BFD failure detection (SRX1500, SRX4100, SRX4200, and SRX4600)—Starting in Junos OS Release 21.1R1, we support distributed mode for BFD. This mode provides a faster BFD failure detection time of 3 x 300 ms. You enable distributed mode by configuring the BFD failure detection time to a value less than 500 ms. We support this feature for a standalone SRX Series device. It is not supported for chassis clusters.
Note:SRX1500 devices run in dedicated mode if you've configured
set chassis dedicated-ukern-cpu
, regardless of the BFD failure detection time. You can enable distributed mode on SRX1500 devices only when dedicated mode is not enabled.[See detection-time (BFD Liveness Detection) and Understanding Distributed BFD.]
