Display BFD Sessions

BFD for IPv6 interfaces is a demonstration feature on some products. For more information about feature support, see Fabric Engine Feature Support Matrix.

Before you begin

To perform this procedure on a non-default VRF, you must first change the VRF instance. For information about how to use EDM for a non-default VRF, see Select and Launch a VRF Context View. All parameters might not be available in non-default VRFs.

About this task

BFD provides a failure-detection mechanism between two systems. Use the following procedure to display information about BFD sessions. You can optionally display BFD session information for IPv4 or IPv6 interfaces.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Edit.
  2. Select BFD.
  3. Select the Sessions tab.
  4. Optional: Select Filter.
  5. Optional: Select AddrType.
  6. Optional: In AddrType, specify a value for address type.

BFD Sessions Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Sessions tab.

Name Description

Discriminator

Specifies the local discriminator that uniquely identifies the BFD session.

RemoteDiscr

Specifies the discriminator of the remote system in the BFD session.

UdpPort

Specifies the UDP Port for the BFD session. The default value is the well-known value for the port.

State

Specifies the state of the BFD session. Possible values are Down, Up, Init, and AdminDown.

Addr

Specifies the IP address of the interface associated with the BFD session. A value of unknown (0) indicates the BFD session is not associated with a specific interface.

DesiredMinTxInterval

Specifies the preferred minimum interval for transmitting BFD control packets by the local system.

ReqMinTxInterval

Specifies the minimum interval for transmitting BFD control packets that the local system can support.

DestAddr

Specifies the destination IP address of the interface associated with the BFD session.

OldState

Specifies the old state of the BFD session.

App

Specifies the applications configured on the BFD session.

AppRun

Specifies the applications running on the BFD session.

AddrType

Specifies the IP address type of the interface associated with this BFD session. Possible values are ipv4 and ipv6.
