Multi-hop Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)

Multi-hop Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is introduced in ExtremeXOS 30.5. This enhancement allows BFD support for non-directly connected EBGP as well as IBGP sessions. Hardware assist BFD also supports this feature.

The following command will show "Session type" as "Multi Hop" for Multi-hop BFD:

show bfd session {ipv4 | ipv6} {ipaddress} detail {vr [vrname | all]}
