6.4.3 Creating a BFD Session
Context
If Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (URPF) is enabled on a device on the transmission path of
BFD packets, this device checks the source IP address of the BFD packets. In this case, you can
specify the correct source IP address of BFD packets by setting the
source-ip
parameter when
creating a BFD session to prevent BFD packets from being discarded.
Do as follows on S3700s at both ends of the link to be detected.
