Thx, replies below.

I sent another email with Juniper traces and Wireshark screenshots but it is big and waiting on moderator approval.

It is interesting that the MX thinks Bird is in AdminDown but bird thinks it is in Init

MX "show bfd sessions extensive":

The bird debug logs were not informative.

I will check the firewall ... good point. The MX is getting some bfd based on the traces but maybe the firewall is disrupting things.

Hi.

1. What output on MX for:
# show bfd session extensive

2. What output on BIRD for:
> show bfd sessions

3. Try to enable debug for BFD on bird and see what happens in log file.

4. Use tcpdump on BIRD side to see all BFD packets are send or recieved.

5. Do you have firewall on MX ?
Check firewall, it must not block ports: UDP 3784, 4784
for your neighbor`s IP.

Hi.

What Junos version on you router ?
There is a bug in Junos 10.4 (and maybe early versions) with SRC address for BFD session if router have several IP`s on one iface.

I'm trying to get bird 1.5.0 to have BFD work with Juniper MX Routers.

Sessions  get stuck in Init state with the Juniper side in Down state.

Any suggestions?

I'm happy to share Juniper traces if that would lend some insight.

Thx in advance.
