Configuring Bfd For Static Routes; Bfd Control Packet Mode - HP MSR Series Configuration Manual

Step
4. Delete all static
routes, including
the default route.

Configuring BFD for static routes

Bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) provides a general-purpose, standard, medium-, and
protocol-independent fast failure detection mechanism. It can uniformly and quickly detect the failures of
the bidirectional forwarding paths between two routers for protocols, such as routing protocols and
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). For more information about BFD, see High Availability
Configuration Guide.

BFD control packet mode

To use BFD control packets for bidirectional detection between two devices, enable BFD control packet
mode on each device for the static route destined to the peer.
To configure a static route and enable BFD control packet mode for it, specify an outgoing interface and
a direct next hop, or specify an indirect next hop and a specific BFD packet source address for the static
route.
To configure a static route with BFD control packet mode enabled (direct next hop):
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure a static
route and enable
BFD control packet
mode for it.
To configure a static route with BFD control packet mode enabled (indirect next hop):
Step
Enter system view.
