Hi

You should use

    interface "eth0"

instead of

    interface "172.30.6.8/32"

With quotation marks, it is interpreted as an interface name and
therefore not applicable for given interface.

Generally, interface specification by IP prefix is not quoted:

    interface 172.30.6.8/32

but such specification is not supported for BFD.
