  • 1.  multihop BFD for static route on MX router

    Posted 28 days ago

    according to below URl, multihop BFD for static route is not supported on MX if there are more than one next hop.

    Bidirectional Forwarding Detection for Static Routes

    Bidirectional Forwarding Detection for Static Routes
    The Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol is a simple hello mechanism that detects failures in a network. BFD works with a wide variety of network environments and topologies. A pair of routing devices exchanges BFD packets. Hello packets are sent at a specified, regular interval.

    after specifying 'local-address' and 'neighbor', the neighbor address remains to be the directly connected interface from neighbor.

    however, even with only one next hop, the BFD session remains down.

    from trace option, i see it does not even try to initiate the BFD session.

    how if supported can MX use multihop BFD for static route?

    found out that you need to use 'resolve' command for the multihop static route.
