BFD and Juniper?

[Leighton, Russell]

Thank you for the suggestion but no joy.

The below was similar to my config but I switched to your exact config.

Bird is still stuck in Init.

Bird keeps sending bfd messages with state=Init to Juniper which has state=Down but the Juniper won't transition to Init or Up.

Does it matter I am in 'rr client' mode?

On the BIRD box, set this in sysctl.conf:

    net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range="49152 65535"

BIRD config:

    protocol bfd bfd1 {
        interface "xxxx";
    }

    protocol bgp neighbor1 {
        [ ... ]
        bfd on;
    }

On the Juniper side something like this:

    job at eunetworks-1.router.nl.coloclue.net> show configuration protocols bgp group internal-ipv4 neighbor 94.142.247.237 bfd-liveness-detection
    minimum-interval 10;
    multiplier 5;
    transmit-interval {
        minimum-interval 100;
    }

Kind regards,
