As of EOS 4.17.0F, BFD support has been enhanced with support for configuring BFD within VRFs, improved scalability

TOI 4.17.0F BFD

Feature provides a way to set the Passive role in BFD session initialization. A system taking the Passive role does not begin sending BFD control packets for a particular session until it has received a BFD packet for that session, and thus has learned the remote system's discriminator value.

BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) session telemetry allows for the collection of per session statistics as

BFD Stateful Switchover (SSO) allows for a switchover from an active supervisor to a standby supervisor where BFD

This feature adds support for offloading BFD Transmit path to hardware (ASIC) for specific types of BFD sessions. This will improve accuracy of transmit timer implementations for BFD (especially with fast timers like 50 ms) and relieve pressure on the main CPU in scenarios of scale.

This feature adds support for offloading BFD Transmit path to hardware (ASIC) for specific types of BFD sessions.

A new configuration model for the BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) agent was added in order to more

CLI BFD 4.22.0F

EOS 4.17.0F adds support for BFD in OSPFv3. BFD provides a faster convergence in scaled deployments where using

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is a protocol that provides low-overhead, short-duration detection of failures of arbitrary paths between two systems.

Prior to 4.25.2F, support for BGP PIC was restricted to locally identifiable failures such as link failures. If a

This document describes the Bgp Peer Flap Damping feature which allows session damping for peers with bfd enabled.

BGP BFD 4.25.1F

This feature allows customers to configure BFD intervals on a per BGP neighbor basis. We also have existing support for the configuration of BFD intervals on a per interface basis and the configuration of BFD intervals globally on the entire device.
